Developing Through Dramatic Play!

Help me give my students opportunities to develop through dramatic play using the multicultural storytelling kits, various vehicles, farm animals, and community garages.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ouellette's classroom raised $926

This project is fully funded

My Project

This is their first school experience and I want to make it a positive one. I want my classroom to create lifelong learners. They love center time! Especially the Dramatic Play, Fine Motor, Block, and Library centers.

Let's help foster the acceptance of all others!

The multicultural story kits will enrich the children's experiences and be able to notice how people are similar and different. In the kitchen center, they will be able to cook using various foods from different countries. In the block center, they can use the Around Town Vehicles, Hardwood Construction Vehicles, and Block Play Vehicles to move on the roads, around the buildings, or cities they have created. They will be able to park the vehicles in the Community Garages. The Classic Farm Animal Collection will be used to create life on a farm.
