Adventures in Italy-Part 1

This is a blog post from Mrs. Lowe and Ms. Dowd (Linwood School)

Our adventure began on Saturday afternoon when we flew out of Winnipeg...three planes, two busses, two trains, and a taxi later, we finally arrived in Reggio Emilia, Italy.

We were so excited to get here we couldn't wait to go explore this new city. We were amazed at the beautiful architecture and the fabulous weather. 

On Monday, we were introduced to the Loris Malaguzzi centre where we are doing most of our learning. We are meeting and networking with amazing educators from all over Canada.

Over the past two days, we have visited many different learning centres. We have participated in rich dialogue with the teachers at these early learning centres. We are taking many notes and are doing our best to sketch all the different learning environments. 

(To respect the rights of the children, we have been asked not to take pictures.)

In the evenings we have been exploring the city and all of its shops, people and tasty treats!

Dear Room 8 Kids, I miss you very much and hope you are learning a lot and having fun!

-Love Mrs. Lowe
