St. Matthews Projects
Projects evolve based on the children's interests, where our educators act as co-learners. Projects are documented in three phases; generating ideas by making a plan, implementing the plan and reflecting on the learning.

The children were interested in learning how to sew many different creations and wanted to speak to the experts to learn more! The project started when the While sewing some clothing for our stuffed animals, we decided it would be fun to dress up indifferent kinds of clothes as an extension of our exploration of fabric! Many children were inspired to sew their own pillows or pin cushions. Some made fun characters.
