Description
Play is the answer to developing executive functioning, self-regulation, academic, social and emotional skills.
Research overwhelming shows us that free choice play in intentionally designed environments is critical in PreK-2nd grade classrooms. We can intentionally design based on a specific science or social studies topic.
This resource includes provocations and challenges to pose:
- block play
- art center
- dramatic play including literacy extensions for shared reading and interactive writing
- sensory table
- discovery center
including letters to parents, open-ended questions to engage students in deeper thinking and vocabulary to incorporate into conversations while playing with students.
