My Reggio Emilia Library
updated October 5, 2024
Where to start? For people who are new to Reggio Emilia
I recommend Beautiful Stuff! Learning with Found Materials,
Bringing Learning to Life, and Theater Curtain: The Ring of Transformations (well worth tracking down).
I also recommend watching An Amusement Park for Birds, available in its entirety for free on YouTube!
My copy of Beautiful Stuff! is signed by Cathy Weisman Topal,
and I was privileged to work with her, student teaching at Fort Hill in 1998 when I was at Smith College. I
also worked with Lella Gandini when I was there; I was a Student Fellow and she was a Faculty Fellow
during the inaugural year of the
Khan
Liberal Arts Institute. The 1998-99 topic was "Exploring the Ecologies of Childhood."
