There are so many ways to explore light in the classroom with your students I have a small light table that is always out and available for play in my classroom. I use this light table for simple activities and try to keep something out and available for light table play every single day...
Don’t you just love playing with colour and light? This activity turned out so much more beautifully than I imagined; the whole wall was lit with blue light, speckled by tiny rainbows. Lately…
Último día del curso LA ÉTICA Y LA ESTÉTICA EN LAS ESCUELAS DE REGGIO EMILIA Considero esencial este tipo de formaciones donde sales un poco de tu burbuja para explorar otras realidades, para escuchar diversas opiniones, otras maneras de hacer y de entender nuestra profesión y, más allá aún, el concepto mismo de infancia. Aún así, el debate realmente extenso y constructivo se ha producido en las charlas entre las compañeras de la escuela que hemos asistido al curso. En esta última sesión pudimos conocer la experiencia de dos invitadas del formador, Ari y Marina, de ellas aprendí mucho sobre los tipos de atelier. He intentado poner imágenes a las palabras, a partir de mis apuntes, mi interpretación personal y lo que he sabido encontrar (imágenes de Pinterest). TIPOS DE ATELIER: Atelier gráfico y pictórico Cuidar la presentación de los materiales. Colores, ceras, folios y demás elementos distribuidos por cromatismos, teniendo en cuenta el sentido estético, la consonancia en los espacios. Objetos decorativos que siguen la tendencia cromática. Atelier de la luz La mesa de luz ofrece un sinfín de posibilidades. Materiales de nuestro entorno que proporcionen juegos de luz, texturas, efectos visuales, etc. Desde elementos de la naturaleza, envases, papeles, tierra, pintura... Atelier de constructividad Construir a partir de lo que nos proporciona la naturaleza y materiales de nuestro entorno más próximo: maderas, figuritas de animales u otras, materiales reciclados, etc. Atelier del barro Muy interesante el uso del barro como alternativa a la plastilina. El barro es frío, se transforma, se seca, es húmedo y es de un color neutro que no quita protagonismo al niño. Atelier natural Para apreciar, descubrir, experimentar cómo la materia se transforma. Podemos ofrecer piedras, troncos, etc. Permiten realizar construcciones, manipulaciones. Atelier de narración y movimiento A partir de proyecciones en la pared, en el suelo, en el techo. Son imágenes sugerentes, muy relacionadas con la naturaleza o el ser humano. Imágenes artísticas, delicadas. Proyección de vídeos que invitan a la interacción y el movimiento. LA MATERIA Ari y Marina nos explican su experiencia en la Fundación Tàpies para acercarse al concepto de materia. - Concepto de transformación - Escucha de la identidad de la materia Comparto con ellas la necesidad de desterrar de nuestra mente la necesidad de "hacer", para evitar el "hacer por hacer" sin un sentido, una reflexión previa. Pero también para escapar de la creencia de que necesitamos hacer cosas, producir, cuando lo que pretendemos es aprender de nuestras vivencias. Remida A grandes rasgos, este proyecto se basa en la idea de que los residuos son recursos, la utilización de materiales alternativos y reinventar el uso y el significado de materiales desechados. Es, a demás, una filosofía ecológica, ética, educativa, estética y económica. Íntimamente vinculado al proyecto de Reggio Emilia. Para saber más AQUÍ En Barcelona existe una iniciativa muy similar, se trata de Re-crea en Rosa Sensat (Barcelona) y El carrau blau en Sant Just Desvern. Son espacios de recogida y almacenamiento de materiales provenientes de stocks de empresas, donaciones particulares, excesos de producción, etc. Ordenados con intención estética por voluntarios y que pueden ser demandados por escuelas y otras entidades que expongan un proyecto y una finalidad para los materiales solicitados. Advertencia: Hay formaciones que pueden llegar a ser un punto de inflexión en nuestro modo de ver ciertos temas, luego puede no haber vuelta atrás.

"A school needs to be a place for all children, not based on the idea that they are all the same, but that they are all different." -Loris Malaguzzi (founder of the first Reggio Emilia School) Reflective light has been the subject of discovery and object of fascination for the children for quite sometime. A few days ago we decided to experiment and play with sand on top of the light table. The children begun to explore the sand, perhaps attracted by the light that shined through the plexi glass… The explorations involved their entire body moving it up and down from left to right in rhythm with the sands movement. They used their palms, finger tips, elbows and different objects to move it around. The light created some dark and light shadows that altered the appearance of the sand. I had prepared baskets with glass prisms, agate slices and natural shells to be used with the sand if the children chose too. The first child used the natural seashells and discovered that when rolled on top of the sand it left beautiful soft stripes of light. His attention is fully captured; he notices the stripes of light peaking through the sand and yells out, “GUYS come here! Have you ever seen a beautiful design like this before?” The emotional reaction to the discovery of the “stripe lights” spreads across the room. Everyone loved his amazing discovery and asked him for a live demonstration. He gladly gave one with a big proud smile on his face while his admirers looked and learned. Let us not forget that children are clever and capable. Yesterday, I was reminded that I should change the color of sand in order to make it more fun. “You never know Ms. Maria; it might make the light shine more,we should experiment. Let’s use purple today and maybe green tomorrow.” It is probably one of the most powerful memories that the children and I will forever treasure. Why not simply, let go of a set curriculum and things that make us comfortable, it diminishes the excitement and wonder from each child. They have to make those discoveries in order for learning to take place. LEARNING SHOULD BE FUN!!! :)

Are you terrified of spiders? There’s a name for that fear, Arachnophobia. Most spiders are harmless to people. Spiders live in many different kinds of habitats; they live in cold climates as well as desert climates. We created an extraordinary spider habitat, the children decided to attach a bridge to help these insects cross from one end to the other. As you can see, our spiders have been very busy spinning webs. Meet “Crowie” the crow.
