E-mail: scott@froebel.net |
| Entitled Froebel's Method for Today's Child, will provide a 4-day hands-on immersion into the original early childhood methods of Friedrich Froebel, inventor of Kindergarten. Presenters include Norman Brosterman, Cathy Weisman Topal, Dr. Regina Rosier, Finella Scholtz, Tiffeni Goesel and others. While the rich history of the Kindergarten will be discussed (and experienced through exhibits of historic materials) the the conference emphasizes work with children and how Froebel's method fits in a modern curriculum (in both classroom or homeschool environments).
Workshops cover all aspects for Froebel's methods, including Gift play, Occupations, Mother Songs and movement games, gardening and nature education. Attendees will observe Gift plays with children by experienced Froebel teachers and have many opportunities to play themselves.
There will be many opportunities for networking and social interaction with other Froebelians, including a tour of a local Frank Lloyd Wright home. |
