Our workshop on sensitive paths was exploring the spaces around us, in particular the outdoor spaces children have available at one of their schools. We were greeted by sticks on the ground pointing to our path. It was interesting and totally fitting to step on our directions- great idea! So as we walked our eyes were welcomed by a long corridor and then huge wisteria bushes and two individuals- Stephano and another pedagogista. Our mission was simple, go and look, research what you find and come back in 80 minutes- oh and there's a treasure chest too! Carly and I went out and followed our directions to the treasure first. A little box with sand, shells and little clay balls. A good early childhood teacher needs to feel these things, and under them too...We found a little pamphlet and left the rest be, it seemed like there were too many for one person- or two :) Then we found the coolest part of the park- under the bamboo bushes was the coolest space ever!! The bushes went up at least 12 feet and underneath was a cool empty space full of bamboo shoots- it was beautiful. After meandering around some more, I realized Carly and I had not been alone in our endeavor, no about 20 of my closest mosquito friends decided to take my blood...No fun, the best was when Stephano squinted and looked at me wondering what was wrong as I frantically itched basically my entire body. I showed him the swelling, and he did this, bzzzzz with his two fingers and landed on his own skin... It was hysterically funny, and then he walked us over to the bug spray, thanks!
