Another reason playtime is important is because children at the elementary level need to be active.

Posted March 4th, 2008 by MaryMorris11987My project is going to deal with the NC teaching standarts. I'm going to make sure that I know what they are, and how to live up to them. I'm going to do this a variey of ways, such as, interviewing teachers, conducting research, and placing myself in an actual classroom. I'm interested to learn about the NC Teaching Standards and I think this project will be very beneficial for my carreer in the future.
