Playing in the morning helps us learn new things. Learning while we are moving and playing helps thoughts and information stick better. It is easier to try new things, make mistakes and try to fix our mistakes while we are playing. Play helps us grow a growth mindset.
Inquiry Tubs (morning play time) are important because we can make new friends and talk with each other. It gives us a chance to make a new friend by asking if they want to play with us. When we start to talk, sometimes people have different ideas. Sometimes we have fights, so we learn to take a break, then come back to solve it because we want to play at that tub more. We talk to see how we can solve problems.

Play helps us self-regulate. There are lots of different kinds of kids in our class. Some of us come to school energized and too excited. Some of us come to school sleepy and tired. Playing soothes some of us down. Other kids perk up and get ready to learn. Play puts us in the Green Zone.
We need to write a plan before we play. Many of us like to plan because it helps us know what to do. We need to plan so we do not just walk around. Then we reflect at the end. Reflection writing is when we explain what we did. Playing gives us the ideas and then we write about them. Some of us like to reflect because it makes us happy. Reflections help us know what we learned. Sometimes we write reflections because it helps us plan ahead to play the next day.

Playing is fun. When we play, we work to create, so then we can remember ideas in our brain. And if you like what you are doing, then you want to do it more, and then you learn more. The fun part of play makes it so we are not stressed when we work. When we are relaxed, we learn more. Sometimes the work and play are mixed together, like Monkey Math Makes 10, where the subject stuff fits into the game. Other times, playing first makes it so we can focus on the work parts. Sometimes the work and play are kind of the same, like we build then write then build then write. Sometimes they are different, but when we can play before we do the hard stuff, we feel like we have had equal amounts so it is fair to work hard.
