Is play really the best way?
Do children really learn through play? That's the big question. I'd love to hear what you think, and you can read my opinion HERE on the Primary Pack...
I have to say I have not read your article yet but children learn through play. I am the assistant director at preschool in Texas and pre-k teacher and the children in our center learn so much through play. This very morning I watched my children work together to build a ramp in the block center for the marbles I put in the block center. I just got to observe them and watch them work together until they figured out how to make a ramp for the marbles but also have the marble roll down the ramp and and roll back over another ramp. They learned so much from playing.

ReplyDeleteI completely agree! It sounds like your students are very lucky to be at a center that values play.
