My Project

Dramatic play allow children of all ages to explore and excel.

My students love rewards and reinforcers after their hard work.

This means that they get to be rewarded when they submit an assignment on time. My students need to feel that they have accomplished. They also need to be given some space to roll play and take turns leading and come up with make belief stories they enjoy after their long day. This will also help with various behavior challenges in class.

By having these extra dramatic fun activities, my students will advance significantly in reading, writing and math, simply because their goal is to be achievers. Achievers are rewarded for their time and effort that they put towards getting their work done in timely manner.

These toys provide my students much more opportunity to read for enjoyment finish class work and refrain from talking during quiet time. I have seen the correlation between students who read for fun, and gains in their academic achievement. Words can not accurately explain how having these dramatic toys will benefit my students.

My students will be thrilled to use all these dramatic toys as the incentives for their achievements.
