Pet Project: The Beginning

Pet Project: A Group Project that Everyone Can Join

I am glad that you are joining us virtually to engage in our Pet Project.  I am so passionate about Reggio-Inspired project learning and thought that we could all use this time with our children to engage in a project.  Our family chose to study pets because we do have a dog at home.  I know that not everyone has a pet, but most of you have experience being around someone's pet.  You may even have "pet" stuffed animals that you can study over the next few weeks.

Our first task during a project is to gather our ideas.  We will continually come back to this step throughout the project.  We start by creating a concept web.  You can see the Facebook Live video here.  These were the ideas from my four children.  

We still need to add your children's ideas!  Make a concept web with them.  I would love to see your webs.  You can add them to the comments on Facebook, direct message them to me, or email them to branchandblossomatelier@gmail.com

We also made a list of things we know about Motu and the questions we have about him:

Once again, send us your ideas and questions!  We will update our webs!

Next, we will begin representational drawings of our pets!
