After 23 years of teaching 2-5 I am moving to KINDERGARTEN! Purposeful Play will be a focus in my classroom. Studies show that children's learning is optimal when they are free to learn through purposeful play. Play is an excellent way for young children to explore the world around them. It develops students' creativity and allows them to make connections with things that are familiar to them. Purposeful play is an enjoyable activity that allows children to make meaning out of their experiences. When children play, they are building imagination, developing reading, language, math and science skills, solving problems, and building social skills, among other things. This project will impact my students on day 1 and allow a space for them to grow socially and emotionally. K is a very important first experience in school.
