My Project

My students are eager to learn and come to school. Most of the students will be experiencing some of these items for the first time and have the ability to manipulate these items and gain confidence and independence. They want to imitate what they see in their daily environment. The items that are in my project will allow them to practice what they see in everyday life and also help to build strong communication and exploration skills. These are all valuable skills to have throughout your life, and dramatic play allows children a safe space to practice these skills.

During dramatic play with each other, preschoolers are learning how to negotiate, cooperate, and navigate group dynamics.

These are all valuable skills to have throughout your life, and dramatic play allows children a safe space to practice these skills. They can act out different scenarios and have some control over what happens.

The coffee shop, sandwich and pizza dramatic play toys will allow them to recreate what they may be learning about or what they have seen in everyday life.
