SUMMER WORKSHOP ON FROEBEL

The Froebel Foundation is offering a summer workshop of demonstrations and instruction in the Froebel kindergarten methods. Several teachers from the Toronto Froebel school in Mississauga will be in Grand Rapids, Michigan for a few days this summer. Their visit will coincide with visits from sculptor/paperfolder Bradford Hansen-Smith and geometry guru Michael Schneider. These guests will be presenting several day-long workshops on topics relating to Froebel's philosophy and method. In addition to the Froebel workshops, other interesting activities will be provided. The Grand Rapids Art Museum is currently exhibiting a collection of Froebel materials and offers a hands-on activity area for children. Attendees will also have a chance to visit the archives of the Froebel Foundation USA and review plans for the new Froebel School in Grand Rapids.
