The 3 R’s? A Fourth Is Crucial, Too - Recess - NYTimes.com
Research finds that play is essential for learning. What of the study's assumption that play and learning are two separate things (in the ase of 8- and 9-year-olds at least)?

Play and learning are not two seperate things. Children learn when they are engaged in an activiy, and if it involves play that might be more beneficial for the child. A student might understand a concept better if he/she can "play" but rather learning at the same time. Centers are a perfect example of where this topic can come into affect. If the child realates what they are learning and "play/ act" through it they are more likely to retatin the knowledge because they have made the information their own and applied it to their own life. Play time or recess time is vital in a early childood students curriculum in the classroom.
