Lisa Murphy on Play Episode 4

In this episode, we're covering chapters 11 and 12 of Lisa Murphy on Play: The Foundation of Children's Learning by Lisa Murphy. We start with chapter 11, "Make Time Each Day to...MOVE." We discuss the importance of both big and small motor movements for children, the tragedy of schools and districts that do away with recess, addressing different styles of learning (visual, auditory, kinesthetic), ADHD and medication, and movement activities you can be doing with your students right now. Chapter 12 is "Make Time Each Day to...SING." We get super nostalgic as we remember the songs we listened to when we were young. What songs did you learn as a child? Who taught them to you? And who are you teaching them to now? If the answer is "no one" then maybe that needs to change! Lisa says you should be learning and practicing great children's songs that you can sing with your students, and she provides a list of some of her favorites. This episode was so much fun to create because these were topics we really loved. Hope you enjoy it!
