Bixby East Elementary

We will be participating in "Global School Play Day" this Wednesday, February 1st. This is a special day filled with free, unstructured play for our students. The purpose of this day is to allow children time to engage in appropriate, screen-free play for an entire day! GSPD was introduced on February 4, 2015 and has gained momentum every year since, with more than 75 nations and 1,000,000 students now participating!! Our students will be doing classroom rotations throughout the day. They will have the opportunity to do STEM activities, building blocks, board games, creative art, puzzles, playdough, and so much more! We believe this will be a fantastic, FUN day for our students to simply allow them to be "little", and to allow them to experience the joys of creative, unlimited structures of authentic play!
