In my classroom, you will find 20 smiling faces who have a true zeal for learning. As you can imagine, putting that many 5 and 6 year olds in a room together can get quite loud.
If you walked by our door at any given moment of the day you would see children engaged in various activities helping them develop their craft as a student to become lifelong learners.
Our classroom welcomes parents and fellow teachers in the hope that we help inspire their love of learning also!
My Project
I love learning. As a teacher, I want to model life-long learning for my students. These books about the importance of play would help me continue my learning and benefit my students.
“Do not keep children to their studies by compulsion but by play.” -Plato.
I need to expand my knowledge of the importance and benefits of play in the early childhood classroom so I can be more effective as an advocate for my students. These five titles will provide me with several points of view by researchers and educators on the why and how to incorporate play into our everyday learning.
