My Project
Many of our preschool children have not had a typical early childhood experience thus far since the pandemic. The isolation and limited social interactions have defiantly made a difference in their creativity and imaginative play. Our classroom has 12 rambunctious little people with an array of personalities, 6 children with special needs and 6 typically developing.
Dramatic play gives children opportunities to play creatively, act out scenarios, and create their own imaginative play that relates to real world experiences.
As we have learned about community helpers and built on that topic, the children have become more inquisitive, imaginative, and cooperative with each other.
We want to build our multicultural foods in our dramatic play area! These foods will tie into our curriculum and support learning about similarities and differences between cultures. These foods will represent real life experiences to trying new foods, eating foods and international foods will introduce cultural food to the children and allow us to link our cooking in the classroom to our grocery store shopping lists and support the thematic learning throughout the classroom that is outlined in our new curriculum.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
