Play-Based Classroom: International Mud Day 2012

It's almost here...are you ready?

Here are some resources to help get you prepared:

Happy playing!

Welcome

My name is Gina, and I am a preschool teacher in a 3's classroom. I used the term "teacher" lightly, because much of my job consists of facilitating the natural curiosity of children. My classroom is called the COYOTES, and they bring me both joys and pains, laughter and tears, peace and stress. :)

The Coyotes classroom is a child-centered environment. This means I let the kids have a say in their day, design developmentally appropriate activities, have open-ended art projects, and engage in A LOT of sensory experiences.

Each day provides opportunities to create, move, read, discuss, observe, sing, and play!

I facilitate the children's individual interests, needs, growth, and learning.

This blog will be focused on the play-based activities I do in my classroom, but I also hope it will become a useful resource for fellow teachers/parents of young children. I am almost obsessed with how children can learn so much from simply "playing." I hope to share some of my creativity and enthusiasm with anyone else who loves children.

Happy playing!
