Framework+for+Play

Diagrammed in a wheel, the Framework of Play acts as a cycle and upon reaching poise, we are ready to anticipate something new:


 * **Anticipation** - expectation, wonder, curiosity, anxiety, uncertainty, risk.
 * **Surprise** - a-ha moments, discovery, a new sensation or idea, or shifting perspective
 * **Pleasure** - it feels good
 * **Understanding** - new knowledge, application of ideas
 * **Strength** - empowerment, confidence, new skills
 * **Poise** - grace, contentment, composure, and sense of balance in life/school
