Grown Up Books
A wonderful professor I've had the pleasure of taking courses with two semesters in a row previously taught a course, Play and Learning, at the university where I'm working on my master's degree. It was not offered this semester but she was kind enough to share her syllabus from the course and the suggested readings. I purchased two of the books and have gotten some really great ideas from them! The books are Serious Players in the Primary Classroom: Empowering Children Through Active Learning Experiences by Selma Wasserman and A Child's Work: The Importance of Fantasy Play by Vivian Gussin Paley

This is wonderful! I'm so excited to hear about all the great things you are doing with your kids. Play is an essential piece of learning, and I'm thrilled that you are pursuing new learning in this area. Your kids are certainly a lucky group to have a teacher who realizes what really matters. Best of luck and happy blogging!
