Excerpt

“We must bring back play in the early grades and give children time to engage in play-based learning. Play gives children the opportunity to practice new skills and master current skills in a safe and supportive environment. Besides having fun, play gives children the opportunity to improve their social, physical, math and science, problem solving and critical thinking skills, as well as language development, the development of these skills promote self-esteem, creativity, confidence, and perseverance – all important skills for children to thrive in a 21st century global economy.”
