For Your Binder

I found this wikipedia post interesting as I was reading up on the speakers and topics to be presented at the 2018 International Toy Research Association (ITRA) conference, 2018, Paris.  #play #toys

This is a link to an essay which was published in a few books, including All Work and No Play... How Educational Reforms Are Harming Our Preschoolers, edited by Sharna Olfman. After reading this stand alone essay you might decide that you need the whole book.  You might also start to wonder how many more essays and articles and books we need to write before folks believe us and the power of play!  #play #DAP #pushdown #teaching #learning #theorists

To put it bluntly, Guddemi says that lacking fine motor skills is not "fine" in Kindergarten! #teaching #learning #DAP #play #pushdown #reading #writing

While the stats are specific to Australia, we can be informed by the data and make sure that regardless of where we live and work we are investigating the diversity (including ethnicity, gender and sexuality) of our book corner. #equity #books #stories #gender #reading #teaching #learning

This essay was originally intended to be one of the Andrew Lang lectures at St. Andrews, and it was, in abbreviated form, delivered there in 1938.  #fairytales #stories #books #reading 

If you're doing homework you aren't riding your bike, not reading for pleasure - and those things are just as important! #homework #teaching #learning #play
