CavalcaIn his first solo book titled From Handprints to Hypotheses ; seasoned early childhood educator Todd Wanerman gifts his readers with his 25+ years of classroom experience; as well as his reflection on and research into his own work. Wanerman seamlessly weaves theory and practice; with an approachable style that uses "plain English" and simultaneously challenges and inspires the reader to experiment in his/her own classroom. From Handprints to Hypotheses isnt a book just for those ECE professionals who work with toddlers. Its a book that offers lessons; insights and provocations even for preschool teachers. Wanerman opens a new window into the possibilities of toddlerhood and clearly supports his theory that even young children are capable of the focus and attention needed for long-term project work. He certainly illustrates the point that a move from "chaos to cohesion" is absolutely possible in a toddler classroom! From Handprints to Hypotheses is a book that a teaching team or an entire ECE center staff could use as a launching pad from their own professional development and inquiry into the power of art as a vehicle for communication; self-expression and research. No doubt would also make a nice complement to the textbook selection for any ECE curriculum course. Its definitely going to be put to good use in my practice!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book for educatorsBy Jennifer BirknerIf you are a teacher of toddlers or teenagers; this book will help you decipher the and meaningful work of childhood and the call to creativity. As i read the book i was flooded with memories of artistic experiences I had when i was a child. I wondered when it was I became self concience of my artistic abilities and thought I am not "good at art". Pablo Picasso said; "Every child is born an artist. The Problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." In this book I found some answers to this question. We can all learn something from Wanermans deep understanding of the young childs drive to experience their world. After reading this book I feel sensory experiences for young children are an important part of their emotional; social and physical development. I have tried some of the projects and teciques described in the book in my classroom of toddlers to much success. The children enjoy the projects; the teachers enjoy them and the parents marvel at what their children are capable of. This is a whole new way to look at doing art with young children and nurturing the artist in every one of us. Maybe my classroom of toddlers will carry the love of being artists with them to adulthood and aply that to all aspects of their lives. This is a wonderful book for teachers who are inspired by the Reggio Emilia teaching Phylosophy. Todd Wanerman has a lovely writing style and the book is fun to read as well as being informative. I just loved this book and recommend it to all teachers!
