Help me give my students room for creative and constructive play. Our state standards are very much not age appropriate and giving my students room to constructively play is so important for their development. Thank you so much!
Each resource is allowing my adorable first-grade students the opportunity to access a different part of their brain through play.
My goals are that as they learn to read and write at levels that are beyond the age appropriate norms of a first grader, that constructive play will allow them to lean to work with others, to give their brain opportunity to recover from academic rigor, and to laugh- which is amazing for their well being.
I work at a Title 1 school with a very diverse group of students- often from all over the world. I am working with students who speak multiple languages and with many who may have traumas on their lives making learning more difficult.
I want to provide a safe learning environment where my students can thrive.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
