Global School Play Day
On Feburary 8th, our school will participate in the Global School Play Day! This day will give us an opportunity to acknowledge the great amount of learning that can happen during unstructured play. Unstructured play helps children develop creativity, passions, problem solving, communication and collaborations skills .
Students may bring one item they wish to play with to school on this day to share with others. The only restrictions: they may NOT bring items that require batteries or electricity. No devices! Here are some ideas: board games, dolls, Legos, blocks, trucks, cars, playing cards, empty cardboard boxes, markers, jigsaw puzzles, blankets (for forts), social games (charades, Pictionary, etc.).
