Help me give my students the opportunity to break through the walls of reality, pretend to be someone or something different from themselves, and dramatize situations and actions to go along with their chosen roles!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
I am a teacher in a low-income, high poverty school with a high ELL population. My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. It is my goal to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences while also holding them to a high level of standards.
My students are creative, clever, and very spontaneous.
They like to move, they love to be read to, they love to try new things, and they love lots of positive attention. From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. By controlling their experience in the classroom in a creative and positive way, I hope to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
It's time to begin updating the dramatic play center in our classroom! With the understanding that dramatic play encourages children to resolve conflict, consider alternative perspectives and recognize the various roles and responsibilities individuals have in our society, it is my dream to provide students with a variety of worlds to explore while in the classroom.
Dramatic play is an integral part of a child's social, emotional, and cognitive development.
With this project, my student's will be exposed to a "home center" environment as well as a "bakery center." I have chosen a variety of foods, dolls, and clothes for the students to explore and pretend with in order to make certain that their own home culture is represented.
I am incredibly excited to get these centers up and running for the remainder of the school year! Thank you so much for your consideration.
