Webinar- Precipitation Education: Practical Ideas for Embracing the Rain with Children

Online Saturday October 26, 2024 from 9:30 am – 11:30 am

Do you want to feel more excited about learning and playing outside during the rainy months? Join us for a lighthearted and practical conversation about the opportunities, challenges and logistics of programming in wet, cold, and soggy situations. We’ll talk about how to shift mindsets about the rain, how to dress to stay warm and dry, play invitations involving puddles, potential inquiry studies that may emerge when being in the rain and more.

Living Inquiries:

Engagement with others, materials and the world.

Pathways:

Reconnection to the land, place.
Time for engagement.
Spaces, objects, and materials.
Suitable for students, parents, adult instructors/administrators, intermediate and experienced early care and learning professionals working with children of all ages, from infants/toddlers to school age children, including children with extra support needs.

Facilitator(s): Karen Begley
