Spontaneity in the classroom provides myriad opportunities and possibilities for learning, building relationships, and collaboration. There is no limit to what can be learned and enjoyed. The teacher does not have to center her curriculum around holidays or a commercial curriculum. She does not have to rigidly follow the seasons, the calendar, or the schedule in order to "make" interesting things happen. They happen because all inhabitants of the classroom are keen observers: curious, intelligent, and open to all that is around them, indoors and outdoors. They connect home with school and take time to investigate. The teacher provides materials and, along with the children, creates an environment that fosters inquiry, comfort, friendship, and creativity.
