From this fall\u2019s Butler friends, hello! We\u2019ve started off the semester learning about different kinds of assessment, experiencing components of the Reggio Emilia approach, and getting our first look inside the classrooms. Assessment-wise, we are fast becoming rather assessment wise. Through observations, we are starting to understand the teacher-side (particularly teacher language) of performing effective and appropriate assessments like \u201crunning records\u201d and \u201cconcepts about print.\u201d From there, we are diving into the unique Reggio Emilia style hands first. Just yesterday, we were discussing (and playing with, of course) clay, wire, and their versatility as teaching tools. For the last three weeks, we have spent our Wednesdays in the classrooms, where we conference with students, track specific students\u2019 growth through our own assessments, and do whatever else the teachers would like us to do. Going forward, we will soon be creating provocations or \u201cthings\u201d intentionally placed in our rooms to \u201cprovoke\u201d and \u201cinvite\u201d students\u2019 attention and questions. For example, Ms. Cegielski\u2019s students want to be more like scientists. So, the future-scientists\u2019 provocation will be magnifying glasses and different objects to examine with their new science tool. We are super excited and can\u2019t wait to see how the semester unfolds!
