Our morning routine begins with choosing unstructured or 'free play' activities. This is an opportunity for students to use their creativity and develop their imaginations, build their confidence, teach them to work in groups so they learn to share and resolve conflicts, practice decision making skills, have fun and help them to develop social and emotional ties with their classmates.

Puzzles

Playful Patterns

LEGO

Lincoln Logs

Tinker Toys

In Social Studies, we began our Mapping Skills unit, students became quite proficient with labeling the compass rose. Ask them their favorite rhyme to help remember the directions, Never Eat Soggy Weiners is mine!
