Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Dramatic Play is a crucial part of a preschool classroom.

Children learn social skills such as conflict resolution and creative problem solving by interacting with peers, making choices while exploring self empowerment , act out feelings and real life scenarios, engage is language development and embracing self regulation.

A play washer and dryer will encourage children to take on roles of responsibility while engaging with peers.

This washer and dryer combo will be an incredible addition to our Dramatic Play Area which affords children many benefits while working alongside peers.

Won’t you help bring this awesome opportunity to life for my little scholars?
