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

My students love to play in the housekeeping (dramatic) play area but at the time the furniture in that center is on its last leg. I want my students to be able to pull the handle to open the refrigerator, turn the knob on the stove, and turn the knob on the sink. At this time, my students don’t get the full experience of make-believe because of the furniture in that center.

In the Dramatic Play area, children take on different roles and enact real-life experiences.

They use props and make-believe to deepen their understandings about the world. Pretending is very important to your child’s development. Children who know how to make believe develop good vocabularies, which are important for reading. They learn to cooperate with others, to solve problems, and to think abstractly. All of those skills are important for success in school. When children pretend, they recall and re-create experiences.

When a child engages in dramatic play with other children, they have to negotiate roles, agree on a topic, and cooperate to portray different situations. They recreate life experiences and try to cope with their emotions by acting out roles and situations that interest them. By assuming this role, the child can switch from feeling out of control to being in charge.

Research shows that children who engage in dramatic play tend to demonstrate more empathy toward others because they have tried out being someone else for a while. They have the skills to cooperate with peers, control impulses, and are less aggressive than children who do not engage in this type of play.
