Enter, Encounter, Engage
The Reggio-Inspired Network of Minnesota 11th Annual Conference 

The Atelier and the Grammar of Matter: 

Featuring Roberta Pucci Speaking Live from Italy via Zoom

What is an atelier? How is its space and organization? Which materials does it offer and what is the role of the atelierista?

Starting from these questions, we will see how the atelier is the result of a certain idea of the child (and in general, of a human being), as owner of hundred languages. According to this idea and to our final goal as educators, the first original set-up of the atelier could evolve in many consistent variations, suitable to each different context.

Of course, we will also discuss what are the essential reference points that can support us in the creation of our own atelier: one of the most important is experiencing firsthand the materials that will be presented to children.

That’s why part of the session is dedicated to a practical workshop and the exploration of the “grammar” of materials: how will this short experience definitively change your approach? Looking forward to discover it together!

Documentation Lab is an initiative that has been very helpful to those inspired by the Reggio Schools and their approach to examining the learning of the children and teachers.  It will have a slightly different twist this year.  We will have four meetings at four different locations.  The host will offer traces of work in process for analysis by the group. In addition to studying children’s work, the dialogue may reveal different documentation strategies unique to that particular context. Articles about documentation will be available, as well, for learning together.  

The first meeting will be on Sunday, October 30 from 10 to 12 at the newly formed Loose Parts Laboratory

Location:  Belle’s Toolbox ~ 3400 42nd Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55406.

Tour and Context discussion- Loose Parts Through the Years

Certificate of Attendance available

Loose Parts through the Years: At St. Paul’s Childhood Center we utilized loose parts in all of our classrooms. After participating in the Loose Parts Summit in November 2021 we have made an even bigger push to utilize more loose parts and less traditional toys. For our presentation we will be sharing with you all how this transition is going, what changes we have seen and if we feel it is sustainable. We also have created a specific loose parts room where classrooms are able to go and use for a week, allowing them to create and explained on ideas that maybe couldn’t be left out in the classroom.  We are doing this with all ages, infants-age 5 and for the summer k-2 also. We will also be taking a look at how the use of these materials changes through the years. For example cardboard tubes in the infant/toddler rooms are going to look different than in our preschool rooms.
