Global School Play Day

Who had the best school day today???  

We DID!!!

Today was Global School Play Day.  The focus for today was unstructured play.

Though our play day was unstructured, it was supervised by me and other classroom teachers.  Throughout the day, we hosted many different classes and got to visit another.  It was not organized play and the children were allowed to learn and play with each other.

In the classroom, the opportunities to play were endless and the creativity, teamwork, fun, and imagination was bountiful! It was amazing to see the smiles, laughter, happiness and positive attitudes shine!

Our first visitors were from our First Grade Buddies in Miss Klipfel's classroom. The fun was just getting started!

Then came a visit from our 2nd Grade Classroom Connection, Mrs. Mulligan's class.  It was so wonderful to see the second graders and Kindergartners play and work together.  

Then, a visit to Mrs. Murphy's Kindergarten class was absolute perfection.  The children got to visit another Kindergarten classroom and play with their friends.

Last, we got a visit from our First Grade Classroom Connection, Mrs. Scharffenberg's class.  The giggles and creativity abounded.  Watching the children teach each and share ideas with each other was inspiring!

It is my hope that this one day of play will inspire families to plan for more unstructured play time during non-school hours and help children’s imagination and creativity to grow both in the classroom and beyond.

Share in the comments below how your child felt about GSPD and we will share them in class.

Can't wait for Global School Play Day 2018!!
