Play requires planning, higher-level thinking, cognitive skills, math skills, and language skills. Most educators and leaders are focused on the students in the upper grades and want to close the gaps in their learning caused during the 2020-2021 school year. We can't forget that our youngest learners also suffered missed opportunities and potential learning loss. Due to mask mandates and distancing guidelines, our PreK students were not able to fully immerse themselves in authentic social opportunities in building oral language through play. I would like to provide my kindergarten students with a few items to engage in dramatic play. These items will help to get us started. My vision is to have a dramatic play center for the children to visit and then change the "theme" monthly. This would incorporate the use of new vocabulary and provide the social interaction that many of my students desperately need. Some themes I have brainstormed are a home center, an ice cream parlor, a farmer's market, a post office, a veterinary clinic, etc. I am very excited, but I need some materials to get started.
