I have 19 years of teaching experience in the Texas Public School System. I have taught 15 years in Kindergarten and 3 years in First Grade.
I try to incorporate as much play into my teaching as a I can. If students are having fun while learning, they will be more engaged and will therefore retain the information better. What may appear as "play" to an onlooker, is actually teaching numerous skills while engaging the learner and allowing them to express their creativity and personalities.
