Play - is it really that important?

A recent opinion in The New York Times addressed the importance of play in prekindergarten. 

As you look ahead into the elementary years, will play be incorporated into your child's learning? 

In an earlier blog post, I shared an article about the role of school recess in a child's school day. Our students have at least thirty minutes per day of recess and they are learning wonderful life skills during that time. They are communicating, creating, compromising, sharing, collaborating, imagining, and growing. Serious learning takes place!

As you gather information about your child's future school community, I would be sure to ask about play and recess. 

Have a great week!

Sincerely,

Katherine
