Abstract: My professional project details the actions I took to create a new literacy practice in my first grade classroom. I used playful inquiry and exploration to guide my new practice- playful literacy. Students used play to incorporate their ideas into their learning as well as foster an imaginative environment. By using purposeful play, students were able to find many new topics to write and read about. I used many forms of research to determine what would be best for my students and how I could become a better literacy teacher. This project takes place a Title I school in a class of 24 first grade students in Beaverton School District.
Keywords: early elementary, purposeful play, literacy in K-2
