[quote=Anonymous]We're in another school district and have free play indoors for about 20 minutes a day and also have two short recess periods. I think all DC schools have this as well through their Tools of the Mind program. The reason this time is needed in K is because a lot of these children don't know each other and need to learn to work together and get along. One on one playdates aren't the same thing. Also, these materials are a way of learning by doing. Sometimes my child would build something with legos based on a lesson that morning. They also learned to negotiate with each other, share, learn new activities, and win/lose at games with each other. We had kids reading at a 2nd grade level too, so I didn't feel like the academics was lost.[/quote]
