I often feel like I'm back in school with all the early childhood books and articles I bury my nose into. Continuing Education is how I like to think of it. So I'm very excited about having been invited to be a participant in a Reggio training workshop at the end of October. I will be out on a Tuesday and Thursday, the 28th and 30th, and have two gracious mamas who have offered to come in and run the fort! Andrea (Colton's mama) will be coming in on Tuesday the 28th, and Mama Tanya will come in on the 30th. They will carry on the fun activities I have planned for that day. Sophia's Papa will be taking a half day and coming home to relieve the mamas after the kids go down for nap.
This is a terrific opportunity for me as there are no Reggian schools in the Austin area and the owner of the about-to-be-opened preschool in S. Austin has extended to the offer for me to attend the training. Everything I've learned about Reggio, has been from books, so it will be wonderful to see examples and speak to a live trainer on various topics. The timing can't be better as we're in the beginning stages of emergent art with the children. This is totally worth the time (and the cost).
And I look forward to sharing what I learn when I return...
Love,
Andrea

I'm looking forward to hanging with the kids. Mia can't wait to play with her friends...especially Austin since she usually goes on non-Austin days.
I'm also thankful to Andrea for providing a 'lesson plan' :)
Learn much, Mamita.
Austin will be sooooo excited to see Miss Mia - I think we have quite a crush developing! Now, if he could just stop scaring her off with all his hugs and kisses...
Colton can't wait for his big reunion at Casa T.
Lulu and her big sis will be happy to see Colton. Madalyn keeps asking me where Colton is now.
