A wonderful demonstration of the ways children incorporate their experiences in their play. These are children who know the story well, they have heard it many times and they are using what they know to re-tell the story. So many important skills being developed here #Froebel #ELCBeingMe

Self-evaluation and reflection can happen in many different ways. It can also happen individually or as part of a group. Critically reflective practice is important to ensure we are always getting it right for children. #BeingMe #Section7RtA

Dear worldwide #Froebel community, @marcellatowler.bsky.social and I have been talking about the idea of creating monthly informal meetings in which we could talk about new Froebel articles and books, share ideas, or just talk about our work regarding Froebel. The idea is to make it very informal

A really helpful article from @helwasmuth.bsky.social discussing a new translation of a letter from #Froebel with comments on the spherical law and the purpose of early childhood education. As always with Froebel, not an easy read, but for those interested in his writing, very illuminating.

This perfectly demonstrates the power of open ended materials like blocks to enable children to represent their ideas symbolically. These children are telling a story about their knowledge and experience of the world. #BlocksRock

This month marks a year since I began therapy for an eating disorder. I finished in summer & it’s been successful so far. I’m happy, healthy & grateful I asked for help. We often don’t talk about disordered eating in men & boys but it’s common. It can be beat, even if you think it can’t.
