Dramatic Play with a Purpose

Help me give my students different restaurant sets for dramatic play, including a sushi set and salad set.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gaspard's classroom raised $160

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are inquisitive children who are ready for learning! In kindergarten, students go from learning letters to reading! In order to get them interested in literacy, we must expose them to books as much as we can in the classroom. This can be extremely difficult, especially in these times where schools are closing for extended periods of time.

I want to provide my students with the materials they need to be successful!

My Project

I would like to add to my dramatic play center, in order to give students more opportunities to learn through play. This will encourage students to build their oral language skills and also how to work with others.

These sets will help give my students direction when in dramatic play.

I'd like to have the ability to have different restaurants each month. We could have an Italian restaurant one month, then a Sushi restaurant the next. This would expose my students to a variety of cultures, while making learning fun!
