The Power of Play - Part 2

Play is indeed POWERFUL! It is the work of young children. The benefits of play are numerous.

In part 2 of this workshop, we will discover interaction strategies that adults utilize to increase the effectiveness of play. We also will look beyond work time/center time to investigate how to incorporate play into teacher-planned active learning lessons.
