A note from your teacher...
Hello Families!
It has been a fun and exciting week in our classroom!
On Wednesday we participated in the GLOBAL SCHOOL PLAY DAY... YES PLAY DAY! We collaborated together, we created together, we laughed together and had FUN together! Based on research from Dr. Peter Gray(Ph.D., The Rockefeller University, 1972); "free play is essential for children's healthy social and emotional development and outlines steps through which we can bring free play back to children's lives." Needless to say, it was a great day in our classroom! I even got in on the fun! :)
Questions, comments and/or concerns please send me an email,
