February 16 marked the Global Day of Play at John Street School. Students in all classes and grade levels played different games in their classrooms. Kindergarten students rotated between all three rooms from imaginative play, to creation, to puzzles. 1st grade played Uno, Play Doh and more while 5th grade played cards, Battleship, Cue Me in, and Truffle. What an awesome day learning how to take turns, be gracious winners and losers and have fun together!
