My Project

My young TK students love to play at the dollhouse, however, our dollhouse is falling apart. It has been well used for many years but it is time for a replacement.

Imaginative play using real-life situations is so important for young learners.

Students work together to "act" out situations using dolls and the doll house. Barbie brand has done a wonderful job making new dolls to represent culture, looks, and abilities. We are hoping to get new dolls to help represent our classroom dynamics in different ways.

Listening to students while they play at the dollhouse is fascinating. I have learned so much about my students, how they think, their situations at home, etc. simply by listening to how their dolls "behave". Many times the conversations help guide me in teaching social and emotional wellness in my classroom.

Thank you for your consideration of our classroom project. We appreciate you!
