Thanks to this recent post by oberholtzer-creative, I have just purchased an ornamental egg to support the BRC’s efforts in Japan!
“In an effort to assist Japan in their momentous healing and rebuilding efforts, The British Red Cross, in combination with the Egg-Bot and a select group of artists offer the Eastern Egg“. Proceeds go towards the BRC’s Japan Tsunami Appeal, and “donors may get the chance to watch their egg being printed (by the Egg-Bot itself) via webcam.”
“Imagination Playground is a breakthrough playspace concept conceived and designed by architect David Rockwell to encourage child-directed, unstructured free play. With a focus on loose parts, Imagination Playground offers a changing array of elements that allows children to constantly reconfigure their environment and to design their own course of play. Giant foam blocks, mats, wagons, fabric and crates overflow with creative potential for children to play, dream, build and explore endless possibilities.”

The end of September brought with it my birthday; below is a video of my two favourite little people singing to me from their home in Vancouver. I sang to them via video back in February, perhaps we have started a tradition. Thanks to the talent of their parents and their love for video, I can watch them grow and they never really feel that far away. This video made turning __ a little easier – sweetness overload!

Introduction: “The theses represented in this exhibition have been guiding principles in a coherent and tranformational history of experien- ce which, already at the time of the first showing of The Hundred Languages of Children exhibition in 1981, characterised experience in Reggio infant-toddler centres and preschools.
These theses are mindful of the many events causing vast transformations in culture and society, in economics and politics, in Reggio Emilia, in Italy, in the world. These theses are sensitive to guidelines in national curriculum. Above all else however, they are capable of guiding our choices for humanity, for liberty, for democracy.”
The exhibition The Wonder of Learning “presents a narrative and communicative structure designed to reflect the contemporaneity, the complexity, and the plurality of points of view that have always characterized the work carried out in the infant-toddler centres and preschools of Reggio Emilia“
