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 Project
Transitional kindergarten is all about learning through play! My four-year-old students deserve the best hands-on learning experiences to maximize the benefits of their school practices. To keep their little minds engaged, I plan on having a monthly rotating dramatic play area that matches the seasons. This free play center will allow students to practice their vocabulary, social skills, and fine motor skills while playing.
"Play is the foundation of learning, creativity, self-expression, and constructive problem-solving It's how children wrestle with life to make it meaningful"-Susan Linn.
This project includes items to create our first three dramatic play rotations, including an apple-picking stand, a hamburger stand, and an ice cream shop. Fake food, baskets, and felt are included to make the area come to life for the students. Thank you for helping this project become a reality for my students!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
