Gone were the play kitchens, sand and water tables, and dress-up areas; half-days were now full days. Instead, there were whiteboards, and the kindergartners, in classes of up to 27, practiced reading and math on work sheets on desks at P.S. 101, also known as the School in the Gardens...

The game is the preffer activity for kids, they learn, exercise, teach to others, because in the school the mayority  activity is better whe include a games, In the public school 101, want more play activities, in the Salvador is similar, in public school the children dont have more activities, resourcess and anything for ludic learning.
