Play

As an early childhood educator, we always are hearing that play is learning. While this video addresses an older age group than I currently work with, I find it is a great way of looking at how play is learning.
Play allows children to experiment, fail, learn, and try again. While this is a little skewed toward science, I liked it.


(I also plan to talk a bit more about play being a necessary part of the learning process in future posts. If you have questions or concerns that you would like me to address, just let me know!)

A Dialogue

My Dad (to the dog): Oh look, your Aunt Jaq is wearing some socks that she made!

Me: I just finished them and was too lazy to take them down....

My Dad: Are you going to make me some socks for Christmas?

Me: It depends. Will you wear them?

My Dad: Well... I don't know are they comfortable?

Me: I think they are.

My Dad: Would they match my work clothes?

Me: Yeah.

My Dad (wanders off.)


So, Should I knit him a pair of socks for Christmas?

p.s. He is the most difficult person to get a Christmas present for on my list. I've got pretty much everyone else covered except for him. Any suggestions besides the socks would be most appreciated.
