Mud Play as Meaningful Learning

Through interactive discussions and practical activities, participants will delve into the developmental benefits of mud play, gaining insights into its cognitive, physical, and emotional advantages for young learners. We'll tackle common objections and concerns, equipping educators with strategies to gain support from staff and parents. From establishing a messy clothes policy to crafting persuasive newsletter blurbs, we'll provide practical resources for seamless integration of mud play into educational settings. Participants will engage in breakout rooms focusing on integrating mud play into the curriculum and enhancing learning through a variety of activities, including maximizing learning opportunities, exploring math connections, conducting science activities, nurturing early literacy skills, fostering creativity through art, developing fine motor skills, selecting tools for mud play, incorporating natural loose parts, and selecting plants for play in the mud kitchen. By the end of our two hour session, attendees will leave with practical insights and a renewed appreciation for the possible learning experiences mud play offers young learners.

Carrie Becker presents:
My 8 Senses: Proprioception & Vestibular
In ECE, we’ve all planned a “my five senses” unit, but did you know we have eight senses? This
workshop will focus on our proprioception sense (the body awareness sense), which strengthens our
coordination skills and our vestibular sense (the movement sense), which helps us with balance
while walking and running.
