Preschool is one of the most important developmental stages for children. Within this first year of school, students acquire many skills that create the foundation for further learning. As a preschool teacher in a diverse community, my classroom is populated with many students who speak several different languages. Communication and socialization with others are two main goals in the preschool classroom. These skills are mostly taught through various types of play.
My classroom follows a center-based model which includes areas for children to learn about different subject matter such as math, science and dramatic play.
Although all are important, dramatic play is one of the major centers we focus on in the classroom. While students are playing in the dramatic play center, they are able to expand communication, language, and interactions with their peers.
My Project
The materials we are requesting include various dress up costumes, role playing activities and a puppet theater with puppets. These toys will help to fill up our dramatic play center within the classroom and give the opportunity for the children to have fun while learning. Materials chosen for this project also reflect on the monthly units of study created by the Pre-K for all curriculum.
Your generous donation will help strengthen the language and imagination of a classroom full of preschool students.
When given the appropriate tools, especially at this age, children are more likely to express themselves socially and independently. These skills will help them to grow for the future.
