Dramatic Play for Kindergartners

Help me give my students dramatic play supplies to encourage creativity and as well as provide an important emotional outlet. I need a doll house, dinosaurs, a castle and a carpet for them to sit on.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I teach Kindergarten at a Title I school in Southern California. Many of the children in this area haven't been to preschool, and my classroom is their first experience with learning in a school setting.

They come into my class excited to learn and curious about the world around them.

Some of the kids in my classroom are being raised by single parents, grandparents, or foster parents. All come from families that want the best for their children and are doing their best to help them be successful at school.

My Project

Dramatic play is basically playing pretend. It is self-directed and a time for the children to build relationships as well as learn valuable skills in storytelling and problem solving. Children naturally play, but I want to support that time with these engaging materials and encourage their curiosity both about the real world and the world of make-believe.

Play is absolutely essential to Kindergarten students.

With these materials, my students will be able to fight a dragon, build a treehouse and, more importantly, use their imaginations to become anything they want to be. I want to encourage their problem solving and language skills by providing high quality open-ended toys.
