Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Dramatic play has a ton of benefits for children! Providing my students with dramatic play toys such as a lego set, train set, and a puppet show will develop their language and communication skills.

Other benefits of dramatic play include promoting expressive language, developing social interaction skills, relieving emotional tension and stress, taking control and feeling empowered, and recognizing what is real and what is fantasy

Dramatic play can also be adjusted to include skills that are currently being taught. Adding academic content to the benefits of dramatic play gives my students all the opportunities they need to be successful.

Using puppets helps students develop communication and literacy skills. Students can create a rhyming play to show the class.

Students can use Legos and the train set to improve their science and math skills. A math activity we can use is to have students build with a certain number to see what they can build with a certain number.
