My Project

“In addition to promoting curiosity, exploration and creativity, play provides children with the opportunity to practice important executive function and self-regulation skills like paying attention, inhibiting their impulses and remembering and updating information,” according to Professor Stephanie Jones at Harvard University.

Play is especially important in my foreign language immersion classroom where I am trying to build bridges between my Spanish speaking and my English speaking students.

I need help to supplement the materials we have to promote those skills. I've been gifted a sturdy wooden dollhouse, and now we need furniture to go with it so students can use it together.
