I teach kindergarten in a public school in New York City. Our school is one of the most internationally diverse communities in the country and we are so fortunate to have so many cultures represented. Our children speak many languages but children of every culture long to play and have fun. Play is part of their learning and as children engage in dramatic play, they socialize and acquire knowledge of the world around them. We live in a major urban center so learning about farms and the animals that inhabit them has to be done through hands-on manipulatives. Visits to a farm are possible, but daily familiarity to teach children about animals, cooking, and people who hail from different cultures must be done through props. For that reason I am also requesting multicultural dolls that match who we are.
