4 Approaches to Learning through Play Constructing, Organizing and Applying Knowledge AL.1 Constructing and Gathering Knowledge Big Ideas: Children actively construct knowledge through routines, play, practices, and language. Children use a variety of strategies to gather information based upon their own individualized approach to learning. Essential Questions: What strategies can be used to gather information? What can I learn from my every day experiences, including play? AL.1. PK.A Explore and ask questions to seek meaningful information about a growing range of topics, ideas and tasks.
