Welcome

Welcome to Kindy Play, I’m so happy that you have discovered me. I started this page as an assignment for a course but also to document my journey into the Reggio Emilio inspired world. So often in teaching we see into our colleagues classrooms and worlds when they are already far along in their journeys. It reminds me of a quote that I find myself quoting often in my life. “Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle, or your middle to someone else’s end” ~ Tim Hiller. Remembering also that “comparison in the thief of joy” ~ Theodore Roosevelt. If you are like me and you are one of those people that look at those beautiful Reggio classrooms and get overwhelmed and discouraged this is the place for you. I firmly believe in show casing wins as well as fails because teaching is real life and we are all only human. With trying to change there is always going to be fails and this just like my classroom is where we try new things, make mistakes, and learn from those mistakes. Whether you have been in the classroom like myself for awhile and you are ready to make some changes or you are a brand new teacher feel free to follow along on my journey. This is also a place for families to follow along with us and see some of the things happening in our classroom!
