At The New School we value “play.” Twice a week children enjoy a half hour of free time during gym. Three times a week we play cooperative games. During free time children enjoy many different activities. Children need this time to independently develop creative games and projects. The “building craze” started about two years ago. First children built “forts” in the woods using logs lying around the property. Then when we started learning about Native Americans teepees sprung up out in the field – just like on the plains! This year the same logs have been recycled to create yet another shelter. Each time the building techniques get more and more sophisticated. It is so much fun to watch the creativity of our children.
