On February 4th, our class will be spending the time between second break and the end of day participating in Global School Play Day.
The premise is that for the final portion of our day, your children will PLAY.
In our class, students are welcome to bring a toy, for example:
Board games, dolls, Legos, blocks, trucks, cars, racetracks, playing cards, empty cardboard boxes, markers, jigsaw
The idea is to move away from electronic toys and truly use your imagination. puzzles, blankets (for forts), social games (charades, Pictionary, etc.)
Toys that require electricity or batteries are not to enter the Play Space!
