Hello! My name is Michelle. I’m a New York City K-12 teacher who is passionate about sharing my experience with harnessing the power of play in the classroom. I truly believe that adding play-based learning strategies to the traditional academic lesson cycle will transform the experience for children at school. The goal of this blog is to share my journey as I implement play-based learning strategies in various ways throughout the school year. If you’re interested in learning more about play-based learning and what it looks like at the upper elementary and lower middle school level, then this blog for you!
