Play Two
Think about BCE. How could it benefit from implementing Design, Story, Symphony, Empathy, Play, and Meaning? What would that do to teaching and learning for teachers? What would that do for teaching and learning for students?

BCE should create avenues for more play.
Teachers-
We need to examine how play is already incorporated in our teaching and what changes would need to be made to increase the amount of play in the daily lives of our children. Change is hard and can be stressful and the stresses of curriculum would have to be considered.
Students-
Play decreases inhibitions and gives kids another physical outlet. It increases blood flow, which increases oxygen, which increases brain function.

Design: Break down some walls in the 200 wing to make them intSto bigger classrooms. Adult bathrooms in 300 hallway
Story: STORY IS A CONSTANT IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!
We connect our lives to our children’s lives.
Symphony: Family Friday meetings, buddy classrooms, happy hours…
Empathy: The “high – low” game where you are asked to tell about your day’s high…and your day’s low.
Teachers need to practice more empathy with each other!!
