What’s your Passion?

Our team is made up of a bunch of passionate educators! Of course we are all passionate about children and anything related to Early Childhood Education. And we are also passionate about a whole lot of other things! Some of these passions stay for a long time, others are more fluid, coming and going. Right now, for me personally and for Katharina- we are super into mushroom explorations. We took a class together and are now reading and exploring on our own. We are also spreading this interest into the classroom so now the field guides are out, books are on the tables, magnifying glasses are on the wagon and we are in search of mushrooms here at Terra Nova! We are mindful of teaching children safety protocols and also want them to not fear mushrooms so we aim for a healthy balance. Each educator brings their own unique qualities and interests to the children and the children likewise bring their interests to us- it is this reciprocal giving and taking of ideas, information and passions that make a school an energized place for learning. Take a moment and think about your passions- let us know when you come in next week! Maybe it will spark a new pathway…

With warmth,

Emily
