Mrs. Vitatoe from Houston TX is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Inspiring Entrepreneurship In The Preschool Classroom

Help me give my students opportunities to do more than a kitchen. I want a dramatic play center with entrepreneurial experiences: zoo, cocoa stand, flower shop, and pizzeria, to name a few.

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 are used to only having a kitchen to play in with dolls and everything that goes with it. Someone from the district office gave me the idea of a dramatic play area where students can do more with the space than they have ever realized.

My students are learning about being a person who runs a business.

They handle play money for transactions and are learning about how to handle money. My students began the year at three years old. About half of them have turned four. They really like the role play of having a business.
