Let's Talk- Melysa's Play Journey.mp3

Join me, Melysa Mei, on a journey that began with my own challenges as a student teacher and blossomed into a lifelong mission to champion play-based learning. My story isn't just about the evolution of my classroom; it's a tapestry woven from personal trials, an enduring love for Honda vehicles, and my commitment to the Girl Scouts. I take you through the winding road that led me to realize that traditional elementary education was not my endgame and how embracing play not only transformed my approach to teaching but also brought unbridled joy and cognitive growth into the lives of my students.

This episode is a celebration of the universal language of play and its critical role in early childhood education. I share insights from my time at a Reggio Emilia-inspired school and the innovative play materials that have sparked creativity in young minds. As we wrap up, I extend an open invitation to fellow educators to reach out and share their stories, with a hope to build a community that stands united in the belief that learning should always be a playful adventure. Together, let's continue to explore and promote a world where play is the heartbeat of education.
