Monday, February 4

Dear Families,

Here's hoping for a "regular" school week schedule!

This Wednesday is "Global Play Day." We participated in it last year and it was a wonderful, community building day.
Wednesday, February 6 is Global School Play Day
Global School Play Day is an international event raising awareness of the need for unstructured play. Here is a link to a TED talk by Dr. Peter Gray about the effects of the decline of unstructured play.
With our crazy scheduling, the date caught me off guard. I will talk to the kids about it on Tuesday.

Students can bring anything they wish to play with to school on Wednesday, February 6, 2019. The only restrictions: they must bring toys and these toys may NOT require batteries or electricity. No devices.  Some ideas: board games, dolls, Legos, blocks, trucks, cars, racetracks, playing cards, empty cardboard boxes, markers, jigsaw puzzles, blankets (for forts), social games (charades, Pictionary, etc.)
