Play, by design

-

 It is important to consider free, open spaces in designing schools for young children. I have been fascinated by how countries and cultures conceive play and design structures that invite creativity.  

La Paz Community School has thoughtfully centered a mini soccer field, climbing gym, slides and swings in the courtyard for grades PreK-5 to frequent during daily recess and mini recreos. 

Part of the responsibility as a visiting educator is to supervise students at play in this very space. Imagine it full of children, playing, singing, and smiling as you observe and relish in their joy!

Kids carry on being kids, recess remains scheduled and even administrators take turns on the courts.  Liz Reinemo, secondary school principal, lands her shot on net Positive energy all around, even when the skies are cloudy.  There is something cleansing and refreshing about this rain. It's warm and enough of it to wash away all that came before and start anew!

Even though Costa Rica occupies just 0.03% of world land mass, it boasts 5% of the world's biodiversity in flora and fauna.  The flowers have been remarkable, in bright hues of burnt orange, fiery red, pale yellow and all shades of pink, punctuating the landscape across the country, none brighter than in Guanacaste.  Blue porterweed                                               Cheilocostus speciosus , or  crêpe ginger   I've frequently called upon my "Picture this" app to identify the flora that surrounds La Paz Community School.
