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.
My Project
Dramatic Play (also known as "pretend" or "imaginative" play) is very important to our young learners especially those that have developmental delays in areas such as speech/ language, cognitive, and social skills. Help us "set the stage" for our dramatic play area to be centered in “housekeeping”. We want this new area to be colorful and inviting, where our students can immediately take on a role and begin pretending. We want children to pretend to and play with dolls and house materials and take on various roles playing games like "restaurant". While pretending to cook for and serving each other using dolls, our students will be making use of newly learned language to interact with peers, practicing social exchanges when cooperating with peers, while improving cognitive skills by sequencing their actions.
This new dramatic play area will engage the children in both life and learning.
It will increase their understanding of the world they live in, while they are working on important developmental skills that will help them improve their quality of life now, and into adulthood.
