I would say my take aways are encourging my staff to get out with the kids more and collect loose parts from nature, I would also say invite the children to give us idea so the kids are invested and train my staff more on loose parts
Wonderful! If you ever need teacher training—please let me know. I would be happy to help create a training specific to your program needs.
My three take aways were 1-the idea of reintroducing the sticks instead of just saying no or giving them the idea of what they could do with it. Maybe making a chart of their ideas and going with that. 2-incorporating books into the space. We just recently received some grant money and that was the piece I missed. So now, my mission is to add books along the year. 3-Adding that piece of the 4 developmental domains. In my state we have a CRAZY senator who is trying to block social-emotional education from schools and the idea that those are part of the domains of development just brings it to the forefront for me. I knew why I was angry and why I wanted to be firm in my belief that this was important but having you use those terms reinforced that for me.
Wow! Such a great reflection on so many levels!! I am excited that you have so many takeaways!
This was a very informative workshop that truly changed my perspective of objects as a whole. Thank you so much!
Hi Victoria,
Loved the workshop. I have used some of these ideas at a school I worked at for many years. I am transitioning to a new school that hasn’t really done too much of this before. So hearing the ideas and presentation of materials is very helpful. Love the gathering and sorting of sticks, making letters or numbers for counting. An art or building project with the sticks is great as well.
I love the mailbox outside to store the library books!
We have brought books in a basket outside and laid down a blanket for the kids to sit and read which is like a cozy corner but outside. The mailbox just takes it to another level!
I look forward to more workshops and I think I will order your seeds of inspiration cards!
Take care,
Nancy
Another informative workshop. I am looking forward to including many nature loose parts into a program.

Thank you very much, Victoria! Loved a lot of the information presented and will incorporate some of the ideas in our outside classroom. I especially liked the “Music Wall”, the mailbox library and the stick dolls. I like to use recyclable items-free and abundant. Thank you, again.
My take always are regarding storage, introducing one item at a time, mirroring our indoor classroom outdoors. I love the idea of students taking ownership for where and how items are put away. I also really am excited about pairing loose parts with curriculum.
Wonderful!
