OTT: Episode 151: What Do Loose Parts and Makerspace Have to do with the New Year?

What do Loose parts and Makerspace have to do with the new year? They are both all about having a mindset of exploration, adventure, innovation, critical thinking, and creativity. How will you bring that to your classroom? Listen to get started.

Over Christmas break, I started reading Loose Parts by Carla Gull, Suzanne Levenson Goldstein, and Tricia Rosengarten. It is amazing! It is also completely aligned to what I believe- that kids should be learning in a play type of atmosphere where innovation, exploration, critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity are at the forefront. 

Come take a listen to how loose parts and Makerspace relate to the New Year!
