My students need materials in the pretend play area to enable them to imagine, fantasize, and pretend. This allows the children to engage verbally and nonverbally with others, work through feelings, and build a positive self-concept.
This is my first year as a preschool teacher in a wonderful, welcoming school district. I get to work with four and five year old students who are eager to learn through play based learning experiences.
I have opportunity to watch the children grow into scientists, explorers, or whatever they would like to be, and I hold myself accountable for ensuring the students have all of the materials they need to be successful.
My students come from diverse backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, races, and cultures. Despite the challenges that my students face, they enter our classroom with a smile and eagerness to learn.
My Project
This project will allow my students to participate in imaginative play, express their thoughts and feelings, and build a positive self concept as they are learning through dramatic play. The students will be able to build their literacy skills by engaging in verbal communications through play with their dress-up and house materials. The materials will help the students to advance in their imaginative play and learning without even realizing it through the use of the costumes, cleaning set, and telephone. These materials will allow my students to express their creativity, and advance their communication and social skills while playing collaboratively. These new materials will help the students to build a foundation for learning throughout the rest of their lives.
