IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

As some of you may have heard, there is a new face in Miss Cegielski’s class.  A student teacher has joined the amazing students to learn and grow with them in their learning and thinking.

First and foremost, thank you for welcoming me into the class and allowing me to work with your amazing children.  Each and everyone of them are kind, caring, smart, enthusiastic learners who share their joy with everyone.  It is quite an experience to get to know them.

My name is Joey Crume.  I spent last semester at the Opal School in Portland, Oregon.  Opal School is also a Reggio inspired school and focuses on the education of the whole child.  I was placed in a fifth grade classroom and learned a great deal about the excitement and possibility for Reggio practices with older students.  Our curriculum was focused on the unfolding of historically imaginative play surrounding the New World, starting with Columbus sailing from Portugal.  I also spent a great deal learning about social emotional education specifically in regards to group dynamics and finally math workshop.  This semester, I am honored to be learning about early literacy, story workshop, readers workshop, and the strong building blocks of mathematical understandings.  The experiences I am having, thus far, are also helping me to make meaning of this beautiful and respectful way that children learn and process the world.  Miss Cegielski, the students, and many of the parents have been so kind and welcoming.  I look forward to sharing more stories, hearing more stories and growing with all of you as the year progresses.  Until next time… Joey
