Little Shoppers

My Project

This project is to create a grocery store dramatic play area. It will be a play-based learning area. The students will use the fake food to learn and play. The most powerful way for kids to learn is through play. The students will also learn about jobs in the grocery store, cost, the food pyramid, and so much more. The grocery store is such a fun theme because the students can really use their imagination while playing. Also, we are learning about money this quarter, so it will tie in nicely with the grocery store. Thank you for your support.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
