Sparking Curiosity and Wonder with Open-Ended Materials Brendan Rooney December 12, 2024

Special Topics:

Sponsor: Transforming Early Childhood Education

Instructor: Carrie Becker

We will use the “100 languages” as inspiration as we explore the use of loose parts in our early childhood learning environments. During this session, we will learn how to use open-ended materials to support problem-solving, flexible thinking, language development, and mathematical and scientific thinking. We will also examine the connection between loose-part play and social-emotional learning.
