My K/1 class is switching from paper and pencil to learning through play and manipulatives! We will learn through exploring and interacting. We will make school a place where children want to go, where they can feel safe and secure. They will learn important social skills through play, stories and direct instruction. The will also learn through theme based lessons where they rotate to centers to interact with each other as they use the set manipulatives. The requested manipulatives such as alphabet learning locks and Alpha-Bots will further enhance their understanding of the theme through play. Research has proven that children need more play in their daily routine.
