Learning through "Play" As Well As "Work" in the Primary Grades.

Perlmutter, Jane C.; Burell, Louise

Young Children, v50 n5 p14-21 Jul 1995

Examines the role of children's play as part of developmentally appropriate practices for young children. Suggests that schoolchildren's play is creative, and more complex than that of younger children. As work and play intertwine throughout the layers of the classroom, the combination helps them learn to manage time responsibly. (AA)
