SUMMARY:IN-PERSON! Inspiring Curiosity to Play: Creating Provocations and Invitations to Play
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY\, IN-PERSON COMMUNITY WORKSHOP \nInspiring Curiosity to Play: Creating Provocations and Invitations to Play\n@Granville Bambini\, Edmonton West \nHow do we create an environment that extends on children’s natural curiosity and interests in the classroom? How can we introduce new ideas\, based on our observations and our understanding of possibilities for children? What activities can we do that promote play? Rooted in the emergent curriculum approach\, creating provocations and invitations are a part of how we can build an environment that stimulates curiosity\, exploration and encourage independent divergent and critical thinking. Instead of providing activities that focus on specific outcomes or learning skills\, we provide provocations to stimulate a wholistic approach to playful learning. In doing so\, we need to be responsive to the children’s interests\, extend their learning and inspire curiosity to explore. Learn how to showcase these amazing displays and invite deep thinking and deep play to stimulate and build upon your children’s interests and sense of wonder. \nOverview \n\nDefining Provocations to Play\nFoundations to Play Experiences\, Provocations & Invitations to Play\nInspirations and Reflections of Provocations & Invitations to Play\n\nJoin us for a small luncheon\, at Granville Bambini\, after the community workshop to discuss and connect with educators! Included in your ticket!\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 48 hours in advance!\nPD Funding Available to eligible participants.\nCertificate of participation will be available to participants.\nNo refunds\, credits\, exchanges or substitutes. If you are unable to make the workshop and wish to send an alternative person\, 48 hours notice is required to transfer the registration.\nMinimum workshop size is 10 registrations. Maximum 30 registrations.\nIn the unlikely situation that Inspired Minds ECC Consulting Inc. needs to cancel the workshop\, we will give all registered participants 24 hour notice. Refunds or credits will be given to registered participants in these situations only.

SUMMARY:Adventures of Play! Exploring Risky Play
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE Community Webinar\nAdventures of Play! Exploring Risky Play\nTaking risk is a necessary part of play. It’s part of how children assess what they can do\, what challenges them and what to leave until a later date to try. However\, many of us face obstacles\, barriers and reluctance to accept this into children’s play. Join me as we discuss what risky play is\, how it promotes development and how to overcome those barriers and obstacles. Let’s take a look at all the different levels of risk children engage in during their play and how we can help provide an environment that allows children to explore naturally – with risk! \nObjectives: \n\nDefining Risky Play / Adventurous Play\nDevelopmentally Appropriate Practices with Risky Play\nFacilitating Risky Play\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nPD funding available to eligible participants.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.

SUMMARY:Storytime Success: Building Relationships\, Community and Memories Through Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE Community Webinar\nStorytime Success: Building Relationships\, Community and Memories Through Storytelling \nCreating memories while reading stories together is one of the most impactful experiences for young children. It sparks the imagination\, builds literacy skills and promotes a positive learning space. The biggest benefit for me… is the bond we create with children when we engage in storytelling. I still remember the stories that were read to me as a child. This is the foundation of helping children love to learn! Reading stories with young children is more than just sitting down in a ‘circle’\, picking a story and going through the pages. It should be about sparking the imagination! Using visual props to retell the story. Encouraging children to become an active role in the storytelling process. Children sharing their own stories\, bringing in their favourite books from home or getting lost in a new story filled with wonder and awe…that’s what storytelling is about! Let’s explore the many different ways that we can enhance our storytelling practices together\, by sharing our stories and experiences. So\, bring your favourite book\, get ready to read and share as we dive into the wonderful world of storytelling! \nObjectives: \n\nExploring the various elements to storytelling\nImportance of storytelling in the early learning years\nCultural influences on storytelling\nApproaches to storytelling in child care\nCreating Storytime Spaces\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nPending Approval for PD funding to eligible participants.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.
