Help support Mr. Pitak's Classroom

I will like to purchase a camera to implement the power of Reggio Emilia-Style documentation in my classroom. Documentation is the opportunity to showcase the children’s learning through their created work and pictures. I will be able to document my students’ learning experiences, memories, and thoughts & ideas as they work on an exploration/ study. The photographs will provide a record of the learning process by revealing connections & reviewing past experiences. The documentation will take place at the different stages of various studies throughout the school year. Children make connections as they revisit past experiences and apply new knowledge to them. Student will present their documentation panel to their classmates. This experience will honor their work and make their learning visible to others. A camera will allow me to capture the teachable moments in the classroom. Documentation typically includes samples of the children’s work, photographs of the children engaged in the project work, and comments and transcripts of conversations. The documentation process is not simply a display of the children's work, but rather a tool to reflect on the learning. Pedagogical documentation always involves self-reflection. Examples of the children’s work and reflections on processes can be displayed in the classrooms. The documents highlight how the children planned, carried out and completed their work. High-quality documentation of children’s work and ideas contributes to the quality of an early childhood program in many ways: It makes children work visible. Children can re-visit and interpret their learning experiences and how to develop these experiences further through self- assessment. Documentation also allows for the parents to understand the work and learning that their child is engaged in and think about ways they can contribute to the work in a thoughtful way.
