Global Play Day

We are one week away from Global Play Day!  As you may have read in Mr. Faherty's weekly newsletter, Shaker Lane will be participating in Global Play Day on Wednesday, Feb. 3.  There is real learning and power in play!  As we speak, I am watching students in our Transitional class playing with Magnet Tiles.  They are negotiating over who gets which pieces, setting their own rules, asking for help when necessary, and using skills that we all use as adults every day.  On Feb. 3 we will devote an entire day to play both inside and outside.  We will honor the educational value of play as an entire school.  We are so excited!
