*FREE learning resources* *UPDATED Mailing List* & *NEWS TO ANNOUNCE!*



Hello,

I hope that this blog post finds you well and that you are safe at home with your family!  I have some freebies to share, as well as some announcements on what I have been working on during the COVID-19 lockdown.  


First and foremost I wanted to reach out and let you know that my mailing list and newsletter program (mailchimp) often ended up in people's junk box, and even experienced difficulty the old fashioned route and using my gmail server. :(  For this reason, I am going to be sharing any other news for here on in using my blog if you'd like to be notified: Join my updated mailing list.  (I have made some changes, so if you had been a previous blog follower in the past you won't be receiving these emails unless you include your email here.)


I wanted to bring to your attention some 
*FREE* learning resources and opportunities:



3. *FREE* eResource for parents “5 Part Challenge for at Home Learning”

4. *FREE* subscription to my YouTube Channel with ideas for learning with young children, especially now at home.  Each video has a viewing guide (in the caption) with a materials list, what learning we explore  and how to extend or change for next time!  There are already over 20 videos made since March 2020.
YouTube also allows me to release episodes with a LIVE Q&A chat or a LIVE virtual meeting as they premiere. 

I wrote a couple blog posts about them in greater detail:

Some upcoming videos that I am editing include:
-water bead explorations 
-mini lesson from my four year old's emergent curriculum project that we call "Soccer Research"
-confetti balloon water play 

Please subscribe to joannebabalis on YouTube and support our growth in producing more videos. 

5. *FREE* access to my instagram account @joannebabalis

6. *FREE* online network @CTInquiry "CTI: Connected through inquiry"
-Reggio Emilia inspiration 
-Classrooms and Learning Spaces from around the world
-Book study/Documentation study (Coming Summer 2020)



I also have some positive *NEWS* to announce 
regarding TransformEd that I am very proud of:

1. *NEW* I recently launched The TransformEd Virtual Studio - "Monthly Membership" @tranformedvirtualstudio Reggio Emilia inspired private membership - online learning with IG LIVE workshops and creative classes with me (@joannebabalis) designed for educators, parents, and children (infant to 9 years old).  For more information visit my blog post and read the detailed handouts.  We have created an engaged learning community and I am customizing the content to match the desires of the group.  Some childcare centres and schools have become members until the end of 2020, as a way to continue digging deeper in their own journey.  You may join at any time, and will gain access to the previously recorded workshop and class videos. (View a Sample Educational Photography Workshop Part 1.  Part 2.)

2. TransformEd Consulting Services continues to offer private educational training and group workshops using Zoom.  I am mentoring daycares, school boards, teachers, RECEs, and school leaders, looking to improve their Reggio Emilia inspired approach, educational photography or leadership in early childhood education contexts.  Following any presentation is also the option for eResources that I can write/produce to support the thinking and learning.

3. Our gift certificates and photography packages remain favourites of the studio visitors! See details here.  We are making coffee table books for Father's Day.  You can also send your own pictures for me to edit and create your book.

4. *NEW* I have often dreamt of expanding my studio space and opening up a little educational shop filled with everything that would make one's creative heart sing...  Since we are sort of at a stand still at the moment, I have been thinking a lot about our re-opening and eagerly awaiting the work we can do within the Ontario community.  While I plan away, I have made some decisions regarding what I CAN STILL OFFER learners RIGHT NOW!  Please STAY TUNED for "The Possibilities Project: Create your own Studio Experience" (at home) with custom combinations that I will carefully curate for your family's daily discoveries, or as part of your online lessons/provocations with students during distance learning.  These baskets and trays will also be perfect as Birthday Bundles or an opportunity for your children to explore their creativity with Daddy on Father's Day.  In addition, Personalized Artist Presents are currently being developed with the help of my own children!  COMING SOON! Curbside pick-up for anyone wishing to drive to Islington and Major Mackenzie or delivery will be available in Woodbridge, Kleinburg, Maple, Thornhill, Richmond Hill, and Etobicoke.  

Official announcement will be posted with details about our TransformEd Shop this weekend on Instagram!

Warmly,

  3. I don't skills you're managing Packaging Boxes. the rationale is that the buyers have several options and lots of websites show an inventory of templates for this purpose. Your thinking is sort of impressive while talking about packaging options. However, i feel that the buyers lack in information.

  18. High Quality Hairspray Boxes: You need to select high-quality boxes so that the contents inside don't get damaged due to heavy pressure. If you look around, you will realize that most of the ordinary packaging options available are made of flimsy cardboard. Moreover, the contents inside these ordinary boxes don't last long. It takes a lot of effort and time to find a proper place to display your brand products.

  45. The Power of Open-Ended Toys: Fostering Problem-Solving Skills in Children

    Introduction:

    In today's fast-paced world, nurturing a child's problem-solving abilities is paramount. Open-ended toys have emerged as invaluable tools in this endeavor, providing a dynamic platform for exploration, creativity, and cognitive development. These toys, devoid of prescribed play patterns, encourage children to think outside the box, fostering a host of problem-solving skills.

    Encouraging Creativity:

    Open-ended toys empower children to approach playtime with an open mind. By offering limitless possibilities, they stimulate creativity, allowing kids to construct their own narratives and scenarios. This unrestricted play encourages them to invent solutions to challenges they encounter along the way.

    Developing Critical Thinking:

    Problem-solving toys stimulate critical thinking in children. Whether it's building blocks, puzzles, or construction sets, these toys demand thoughtful consideration, spatial awareness, and strategic planning. As kids navigate the complexities of these toys, they refine their analytical skills, learning to break down problems into manageable parts.

    Promoting Adaptability:

    Open-ended toys cultivate adaptability and flexibility. They don't come with predetermined outcomes, so children must experiment, make mistakes, and adjust their approach accordingly. This process instills resilience and the understanding that there are often multiple ways to reach a solution.

    Fostering Collaboration:

    Many open-ended toys encourage social interaction. Through collaborative play, children learn to communicate, negotiate, and work together to overcome challenges. This not only hones their problem-solving skills but also nurtures important social abilities.

    Conclusion:

    Open-ended toys are more than just playthings; they are dynamic tools that lay the foundation for a lifetime of effective problem-solving. By fostering creativity, critical thinking, adaptability, and collaboration, these toys empower children with skills that extend far beyond the playroom. Embracing open-ended toys is a powerful investment in a child's cognitive and social development, setting them on a path towards a future marked by ingenuity and resourcefulness.
