Importance of play

On Tuesday, we discussed the importanceo f play in our lives.  The students got to see a video and discuss it afterwards.  We discussed the importance of body language.  The way a conversation begins is the way it begins.  Two of the stasff members dod some role-playing.  One plot was about a student who had very negative communication skills such as a mean look, arms out-side, and distant.  The other was about a student approaching a different student with a smile, asking questions and being polite.  The students responded appropritely and seem to enjoy the role-playing.  Next session will focus on the development of their expectations for the year.
