My Project

Play is learning. Play allows children the experience to engage with toys and materials in ways that they can initiate. When children play they are practicing roles and skills that are so important to development.

Students should be engaged in learning rather than sitting for long periods of time.

Children remember concepts that are taught through experiences such as singing, building, role-playing, and using their imaginations. Play helps children develop skills that promote sharing, cooperation, and problem-solving.

The Little Tikes Kitchen set will encourage language and communication. The children will be introduced to tons of words like “stir,” “bake” and the names of different foods and dishes. Kitchen role-play will be a fun way to increase vocabulary. The kitchen set will promote role-playing, imagination, cooperation, and independence.

Our classroom is new, and we are building our room to create the best learning experiences through play, sensory activities, discrete trials, and literacy.
