Exploring a Classroom's Identity through Expressive Languages and Documentation

SEPTEMBER 26, 2026  |  9:00 AM - Noon


Join a discussion about the Reggio Emilia Approach, an ever-evolving educational project.

Each classroom is defined by its unique group of children, teachers, environment and context. By making this identity visible to the children and the broader school community, we foster a deeper appreciation for the collaborative environment we are creating. Participants will follow the year-long work of teachers and children to deepen and make visible the individuality of a classroom.

The morning will include a tour of MacDonald Montessori, presentations, as well as reflections and discussion.

Tara Jones, Studio Coordinator

Lori ScottRussell, Pedagogical Director

Karen Potyondy, Studio Coordinator
