Pedagogical Documentation

Learning Story Guatemala

I share this learning story from being part of a colour exploration activity in Guatemala. Seeing how naturally children learn and discover through hands-on experience was amazing. This event highlighted the power of intuitive learning and reinforced the value of simple, observable concepts in teaching.

Reggio Emilia Presentation:

I included the "Pedagogical Documentation" in my portfolio because it was part of the final video project from a Reggio Emilia showcase, highlighting the children's work. Working as a team on this presentation was incredibly beneficial. It offered a great learning experience, helping me understand the value of teamwork in education.

Learning Story

Learning Story Creating Props

In the "Creating Props" activity, the kids are making props for the "Stick and Stone" book we'll read later. This is a fun way for them to engage with the story before they know it.

Learning Story listening to "Stick and Stone."

When we read "Stick and Stone," We narrated it in English and simple Spanish, providing the children a cultural and language learning experience. Later, the educator read it again in fluent Spanish

Learning Story Creating part of the flower carpet

During the Semana Santa festival in Guatemala, I saw children making a traditional flower carpet. They carefully placed yellow and white flowers on a cobblestone path, demonstrating teamwork and attention to detail.

Significant Experiences (Artifacts)

Volunteer Trip Guatemala

During my volunteer trip to Guatemala, I learned from local educators the importance of connecting with children as co-learners. This approach reinforced my teaching style, emphasizing collaboration and mutual learning.

Workshop Guatemala

In our workshop, we merged concepts like Loose Parts, STEAM, Sensory, and recycling, teaching through play rather than complex words. This is showcasing my commitment to simple yet effective educational methods.

Storytelling

Storytelling is my favourite aspect of teaching, as I am passionate about bringing stories to life with various props. This method not only captures the imagination of children but also enhances their learning experience.

Curriculum Contribution

am passionate about crafting a curriculum that incorporates toys, 'loose parts', and open-ended experiences. This passion is reflected in my curriculum development work, where I aim to spark curiosity and creativity in young learners, enabling them to lead their own explorations.

Landbased

In my land-based course, I confirmed how crucial it is for children to explore and connect with nature. This hands-on learning helps children understand and appreciate the natural world.
