Special Education Students Need Some DRAMA!!

My project needs one "Pretend and Play Combo Kitchen" which includes a pretend refrigerator, stove, oven, sink, microwave, and cabinet space to foster speech and language development.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Banoff's classroom raised $500

This project is fully funded

Hi, I am the special education teacher in a kindergarten inclusion class in Brooklyn. We are a Title I, early-childhood center. Approximately seventy-five percent of our students receive free lunch. My class consists of 16 children. Several of these students have been diagnosed with a speech or language disorder. These disorders often lead to delays in many other areas, including social skills, cooperative and creative play, and self expression through language. One way to help students overcome these delays would be to create opportunities for dramatic play. A housekeeping center would allow many moments for these students to engage in dramatic play and overcome certain delays they may have. A kitchen area would make our classroom feel more like home, where many students are most comfortable speaking to others. All children have some background knowledge as to what happens in a kitchen. This knowledge creates a "safe" topic that children can speak about in the classroom. When they feel like they are at home, they are more likely to use language in a meaningful way with their peers. A housekeeping center would create the dramatic play opportunities needed for my students to gain experience in playing with others, cooperating, and expressing themselves through language. I am asking for a "Pretend and Play Combo Kitchen," which includes a pretend refrigerator, stove, oven, sink, microwave, and cabinet space. I know this kitchen will create the comfortable environment that students with speech and language disorders need to flourish in the classroom setting. Thank you.
