Summers-Knoll School strongly believes in the power of play-based learning: kids need to play to work through the ideas in their heads, learn more about themselves, solidify the "academic" concepts they learn about, experiment, make mistakes, navigate social situations, and more...
This week, we enjoyed playing in the snow at County Farm Park because there was a slide created from the snow and ice pushed off of the parking lot! Students loved sliding on their bellies and activating energy throughout their whole bodies as they did this. This was a great opportunity to practice our collaboration skills and work together to figure out how to take turns and share the slide and sleds we had available. Some students took on the role of "sled positioner", and held it in place while others got on. Some students cleaned the slide after each turn to smooth it out. Others pushed the sleds down. And so on! It was a great way to strengthen our community, navigate social conflicts, energize our bodies, and have FUN!
