Preparing for the first day of our Summer Institute in the Garden
Hello everyone! The first day of our Summer Institute is coming up soon!In preparation for the first day, everyone should read the following article:
Dawson, K., & Beattie, A. E. (2018). Locating the educator in outdoor early childhood education. Australian Journal of Environmental Education, 1-16. doi:10.1017/aee.2018.24
Kate Dawson, one of the co-authors of this lovely piece will be the first of the guest teachers in our course on Monday afternoon.
We are also delighted to welcome ethnobotanist and educator Senaqwila Wyss to lead us in a session on Indigenizing the ECE curriculum in the garden in the second half of Monday afternoon.
From our course outline, here is a list of the things you should bring each day to the Summer Institute:
•a water bottle
•a commuter mug for tea
•a sun hat
•sunscreen
•closed-toe shoes or boots that can get muddy
•layers of clothes for all weather
•a light rain jacket with a hood (as umbrellas are not that helpful in the garden)
•(gardening gloves -- optional)
•any medication for special health needs (allergies, epipen, etc.), and let us know of any medical needs
•lunch and snacks every day
•a notebook and pen for taking notes
•a portable device if you have one available: smart phone, tablet or laptop
•a small backpack to put all this in!
You are also invited to bring along (later in the week) a storybook, poem or story to tell related to gardens and outdoor places. Your story or poem should be brief, should relate to early childhood education, and should include a way to involve learners through a simple activity.
