My Project
I love my preschool students because they are curious, kind, and full of wonder about the world around them. At this age, children learn best through play, and they soak up new ideas about themselves and others every day.
The Lakeshore Multi-Ethnic School Doll Set will help my students by giving them dolls that look like real children from different backgrounds.
Playing with these dolls will help my students:
-Build confidence by seeing themselves reflected in their toys.
-Develop empathy and respect by learning about diverse cultures.
-Practice important social skills like sharing, caring, and cooperation.
This resource will make our classroom a place where every child feels seen, valued, and included as we grow together in kindness and understanding.
