Double Entry Journal #15




·         When children are given a chance to initiate play and exploratory learning, they become highly skilled in the art of self-education and self-regulation.

·         Young children work hard at play. They invent scenes and stories, solve problems, and negotiate their way through social roadblocks.

·         All young children, not just those living in poverty, need the support of teachers who understand the value of play.

I chose these quotes because they are all things I feel strongly about. I am currently in a kindergarten class for my 75 hour clinical and I see first-hand how important play is to the children. They are still learning things even while they are playing. They are communicating, sharing, thinking, and speaking. Play is very important in my eyes and I think that others need to see how important it is as well.
