This week's reflection is going to be a little shorter than my usual blog posts because I actually missed a day of learning due to a family gathering, I had to attend :(
Documentation:
We learned that the Reggio Emilia was the pioneer of documentation. It is the learning process of construction and emergent curriculum which is the interest that drives the curriculum. Then we learned about the Learning stores which was a form of observation and documentation that is a written in a narrative story. Teachers look for this for child-initiated play and engagement. This is provided to a shared group of students and also sparks their interest.
The difference between the Reggio Emilia and Conventional:
Conventional📖: This is a summative assessment that can be measured. This focuses on more standardized testing
Reggio Emilia💕👯: This is a formative assessment that focuses on the child's understanding of a topic/content/scenario/ unit/ etc. This is not testing them of what they know but what they are starting to get a better understanding of. This focuses more on group cooperation and assistance where helping each other is encouraged within the classroom.
My future classroom:
I think i gained a better understanding of which documentation approach i would want to implement my classroom and why. I feel that both Conventional and Reggio Emilia are very important to implement into classrooms but i would consider doing both. I want my students to have that ability to feel free by working together and helping each other out on assignments, activities and other classroom work that is assigned to them to help them understand the material or course being learned but also testing their understanding with a test or project something that I could assess their knowledge on the material we covered in class that week or even month. So, I would implement both strategies of documentation within my classroom

Ali, great blog post this week! I liked how in your reflection you stated that it is important to use both conventional and Reggio Emilia approaches in the classroom. I too think that you need a balance of both in a traditional classroom. I also liked how you explained the differences between the two.
Hi Ali! I totally agree with you when you say you want to apply both Reggio-Emilia and the conventional approach. I feel as though a balance would best suit the student in their learning environment. I loved your post!
Hey Ali! I really like your description of the conventional and Reggio Emilia approaches in the classroom. I agree that it would be good to implement both into the classroom! Great job!
