@playfullearning is a wonderful resource for play-based curriculum. Learning and play are not dichotomous! We can implement many different forms of play to teach young children.

I'm reading @DRAmyBerry 's, Reimagining Student Engagement and am excited about the implications the engagement continuum may have on ECE planning AND assessment. There is a lot to discuss here...
In the most active form of engagement, students strive toward a goal that is personally meaningful to them and involves a certain level of challenge.

When kids are deprived of play, their mental health suffers.
Over the past 50 years, the time kids spend playing outside and inside has plummeted. They're missing opportunities to bond, build self-control, be creative, and feel joy.
Free play is a key to happiness and growth.

Play transforms knowledge into real-world R & D for children.
When play is expertly guided by well-trained teachers, it is the elixir that brings education to life.
It takes 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain. Through play, it only takes 10 - 20 repetitions.
Our brains are wired for play: Fosters imagination, creativity & collaboration. Brings joys & wonders. Encourages risk taking.
