Kitchen Center for Kids

My students need a kitchen for the home living center.

  • $577 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Role playing is an activity that every Pre-K student loves to do. We have twenty high energy Pre-K students and not much funding for materials in the classroom.

Our school is adding another Pre-K class and this brings up the need to have a kitchen center for the students.

A kitchen center for the students would allow them to role play family living. When students role play they learn socialization skills which are very important and will help them as they grow and mature. Students develop the art of sharing while interacting in the kitchen center. They pretend to be families and even dogs and cats. They learn to share the items in the center as well as areas, such as working at the stove, sink or refrigerator. Pretending to be a family or even pets also shows how creative Pre-K students can be. When students are being creative it helps promote thinking and using their brilliant brains, and every student has a brilliant brain. The kitchen center also allows the teacher to learn different things about each student as well. By observing how children interact with each other can help the teacher discover things about students that come naturally while role playing in this particular center.

Your help will ensure that the students have the opportunity to role play in the family living center.
