Students building box forts

Westwood classrooms had the option to participate in Global School Play Day on Wednesday, February 5. The purpose of the day is to provide students an environment of supervised, unstructured play to be creative, problem-solve and socialize. No electronic devices are allowed! Classrooms had amazing fort structures built with boxes and blankets – designed, decorated and played in by the kids, board games, crafts, puzzles, and trains. One classroom even had a “creation station” where students created anything using boxes and recyclable materials. Students were free to let their imaginations run wild!
