My Project

Kindergarten is a busy, loud, fast paced learning environment! In order to best service students, kindergarten needs to not only teach academic content but also educate our early childhood students on social skills. This can be taught through dramatic play.

I have included many items, such as the ice cream truck play tent, housekeeping items and pretend food, in order to facilitate this type of learning.

Students will work together to solve many problems they encounter while pretending they are running an ice cream truck, a small business cafe or a home environment.

My students are special because they rise to the challenges that they are given in any classroom environment and are able to problem solve and work cooperatively!
