PLAYing is what we do best!
March 11, 2016, 01:20 PM
Children’s understanding of the world is
reflected in their play. It is through play that they get to express their
knowledge of concepts and explore new ideas. Children’s work is play. Let’s see the children’s “work”:
BUILDing a tower
DRIVing the train
WASHing
the fruits and vegetables
WAITing
for the toast
KEEPing
the food in the refrigerator
PAINTing
the sliding door
GETting
some ice cream
BUYing some groceries
Children love to
use their imagination when playing. They
like to do a lot of pretend play.
As educators, we need to nurture that
imagination by providing them with materials they could use and by engaging in
conversations. It is through keeping that imagination alive that will let
children be children.
Until next time,
Patricia
