I love the photos though....you could actually make a "I SPY" book with your class with these photos. <br /><br />Okay, I do want to know where you got those great stones...I am searching for them, but so far either all too small or polished. I proposed my outdoor classroom idea (inspired by your outdoor space) to my principal and she LOVES it, so now to gets costs for everything so we can apply for the grant!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-19949805866855628552010-07-23T19:07:18.630-07:002010-07-23T19:07:18.630-07:00When I read the title to this post I thought "...When I read the title to this post I thought "Oh no, not little world". I feel invested in little world, having seen it evolve from the beginning. But reading the post I see it is not dead, just different. Phew.<br /><br />We have been thinking alot at preschool about the living history of a preschool environment. When we moved into our new buildings it felt like a very different preschool, and we think that was because there was no history in the walls, the floors, the garden - the space was just space.<br /><br />Now four years later it is beginning to fill with memories of children and play and games gone by and it feels more like home.<br /><br />I think finding little treasures from little world is a bit like finding little memories of play and games gone by and this all helps to make up the fabric of your space. It is a lovely story.jenny @ let the children playhttp://progressiveearlychildhoodeducation.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-3368670887240853832010-07-23T18:06:11.335-07:002010-07-23T18:06:11.335-07:00I really enjoy visiting your blog time and time ag...I really enjoy visiting your blog time and time again!<br /><br />Keep writing and inspiring!<br />~Early Childcare Resources<br />http://ecrp.1om.ca/Early Childcare Resourceshttp://ecrp.1om.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-68449518020638669462010-07-23T16:48:19.195-07:002010-07-23T16:48:19.195-07:00I guess little world just aint so little anymore! ...I guess little world just aint so little anymore! <br />You could send the children out on a treasure hunt to collect all the 'little world ' pieces so they can rediscover them and allow the process to start all over again.<br />Donna :) :)Play for Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475920387209134195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-38065914216855675752010-07-23T13:40:36.470-07:002010-07-23T13:40:36.470-07:00Sometimes we just need to take a step back and loo...Sometimes we just need to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective! (or at least that of a 'little person'. Often we are focussed on tidying up and restricting resources to a certain area or timescale - look what happens when we don't. I have often had the conversation about 'treasures' with the children at my school and am always amazed at the number of children who have never experienced this concept! SAD but TRUE! <br />Thank you for giving us a reminder about the important things!Jo Liversidgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-24125225029818641122010-07-23T11:03:59.325-07:002010-07-23T11:03:59.325-07:00I think this is one of the most poignant blog post...I think this is one of the most poignant blog posts of 2010.<br /><br />Children need opportunities for exploration and discovery. I'm wondering too, where, if and how this can continue to evolve. <br /><br />My gut feeling would be to ensure there were buckets or container for collecting and transporting. I'd also be interested to see if the "hidden gems" ended up in the coffee bean path or other places. And perhaps that's how we need to offer our little worlds - not as specific "lots" but with all the parts just naturally fitting into the outdoor and indoor area but with "permission" to be moved.<br /><br />It'll be interesting to see what happens - I hope you'll keep us posted.Juliet Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035975039896986525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-35122626096728463442010-07-23T10:18:10.442-07:002010-07-23T10:18:10.442-07:00Little World is definitely growing.

We have the same treasure...This makes me happy! :D<br /><br />We have the same treasure all over our garden! Lots of florist's glass nuggets and various shaped and sized sequins, which is pretty darn cool because you never know when one will twinkle in the sun and catch your eye! I haven't put them there, but just like you said, from many play episodes they have spread around and I think it makes the kid's envoronment even more magical. Love it!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07169632319172011782noreply@blogger.com
