My Students

This is the first year with my students. We are a new preschool program in a high-poverty area. My students love to learn and are so creative. My students light up when they are around new creative projects. They love to play through their imaginations. Since it is our first year in this room we are missing a lot of our items. My students are all going to be going into kindergarten and I want them to have items to help them prepare for it.

My Project

Being able to express yourself through play is such an amazing thing! A child may not know how to express themselves with words, but they sure can with play! Making sure they have a variety of materials in the dramatic play that is accessible to them is a wonderful thing.

Expressing ones thoughts and feelings through play in the dramatic play area can really help with their social emotional needs.

Not all home environments are the best but in dramatic they can create a healthy and safe area. With these materials, I can make sure that my twenty students have the opportunity to do just that! Their imaginations can soar and their learning through play can also!
