| Play with a Purpose - Linking Curriculum with the Playground |
| The Playground is an environment that helps children develop physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. It is also a place where curriculum concepts such as math, social studies, art, music, and physical education can be reinforced in a child-oriented setting. This session will provide participants with unique ways to use the playground to reinforce concepts learned in the indoor classroom in the outside play environment. |
