This week talk all about the stages and types of play. We get down to the basics so that you as a teacher have the foundation you need to incorporate more play in the classroom. This weeks episode discusses what each stage looks like and what each kind of play looks like. We discuss the benefits of play and how to observe and read children's play. Have some struggling students when it comes to play skills? Have a student stuck in one area? We discuss strategies and ideas for helping push these children forward. We discuss the go to book on play in the classroom, Purposeful Play by Kristine Mraz, Alison Porcelli, and Cheryl Tyler.
