Malaguzzi continues to provoke us to think deeper about the kinds of systems that are needed to support education. In the ‘Voices: Conversations From North America and Beyond’ section, Project Infinity: Forming Relationships with New Teachers authors Margie Cooper, Candace Dupree, Patty Randall, and Susan Redmond, reflect on the 19 years of Project Infinity’s work, generating an interconnecting group of unrelated schools to embark on a path of studying and interpreting th...e philosophies and experiences of Reggio Emilia and evolving in responsetogether. The article focuses particularly on Project Infinity’s formation of a pedagogical coordinating team that supports new teachers encountering the Reggio Emilia Approach. Project Infinity is a collaborative, longitudinal, action research project involving schools for young children in Atlanta, Georgia, and Greenville, South Carolina. First known as the School Development Project, our work began following the presence of The Hundred Languages of Children exhibit in 2000 during the annual conference of the National Association for the Education of Young Children in Atlanta. Project Infinity, a name coined by the founding group of schools in the School Development Project, is meant to suggest a style of work that builds forever on itself. Participating Schools: Grant Park Cooperative Preschool, First Baptist Day School, Saint Anne's Day School, Peachtree Presbyterian Preschool, and The Nest Nursery School. Feature: Spring 2020 Issue of Innovations in Early Education: The International Reggio Emilia Exchange, Project Infinity: Forming Relationships with New Teachers, pgs. 12-27.

The Sun Room Pre-K children were challenged by Ms. Cox (affectionately known as 'The Tinkering Lady') - "What can you make from a box?" Luke: "I built a lamp. The eyes turn it on. The gold circles power it. They are the energy source. The gems make it beautiful." Benjamin: "This is the boat that can turn into a tank. This wire is so they can swing and catch the fish. It also helps them to escape the pirates and get treasure. The bumper helps them go down under the water to ge...t the fish, too." Adelaide: "I made a car with a cargo thing that carries stuff to take to the beach because there is no room in the car. My car has 4 wheels and a steering wheel. It helps the car drive where it needs to go. I love my car." Ford: "GeneratorIt has no light. It powers lights far away. The gadgets are to help power electricity. The solar panel catches the light and keeps the light for 2 seconds, then it spins in the tube and coils. And thenelectricity! Then, it has its final chance onto light." Sun Room Educators: Tena Sarabia and Danielle Hutlas Virtual Tinkering Educator: Terri Alexander-Cox "While a fun activity, Tinkering also promotes numerous positive attributes in our children - among these are imagination, creativity, fine motor skills, risk taking and persistence. A mantra I use frequently is, 'If that isn’t working the way you want, what else can you try?'" - Terri Alexander-Cox

#TBT - "One of the focal points of the Reggio Emilia Philosophy, as Loris Malaguzzi wrote, is the image of a child who, right from the moment of birth, is so engaged in developing a relationship with the world and intent on experiencing the world that he develops a complex system of abilities, learning strategies, and ways of organizing relationships." Taken from: "The Image of the Child: Children, Spaces, Relations - a metaproject for an environment for young children". (199...8).
