In the Reggio Emilia approach, children are encouraged to create things. Students learn by interacting with their environment and creative materials provided by the teacher. In this model children need to have opportunities and materials to express themselves. Children learn by exploring, touching, moving, listening, hearing, seeing, and experimenting.
I really thought that it was interesting and brilliant how the parents are included with the teachers in the learning process of a child. I also thought it was fascinating that topics were taught in such a way as to draw or attract the children to the learning of materials based upon the interests of those in the classroom setting. I believe it would have helped me a lot more in my early years of school if I was taught certain topics with things that I liked.
