My Students
My students are preschool age, 3, 4, and 5 years old. Despite the many challenges they may face before coming to school, they are eager to explore and learn. The students are at-risk young children from various demographic factors, cultures, home environments, and low socio-economic status. They are limited to educational experiences outside their homes. With creative and meaningful activities, the students can show pride in their efforts. I want to provide them with developmentally appropriate experiences to develop their social skills, fine and gross motor skills, and problem-solving skills.
My Project
Pretending is important in early childhood development. Through pretend play the children learn about themselves and the world they live in. During pretend play the children can work out confusing, scary, or new life issues, such as the first day of school or a trip to the doctor. When participating in pretend play using manipulatives the children work on social skills and higher order thinking skills. Through pretend play, children learn to do things like play with others, take turns, consider others’ feelings, develop a plan and act on it, and assign tasks and roles. The children are able to connect to their own lives at home as they pretend to be moms and dad. I believe these items will be a great addition to our dramatic play area!
More than half of students from low‑income households
