Help me give my students the opportunity to use dramatic play to engage imagination, encourage social-emotional development, and learn more about the fascinating world around them. This includes a costume organizer, doll clothes, and other items.
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 Students
At our school, our students are eager to learn by doing. We use an arts-infused curriculum to encourage self-exploration, build self-confidence, and increase social and emotional development. I enjoy working with my students because they are imaginative and eager to learn more about the world around them. They are incredible creators, thinkers, and learners who yearn for active learning opportunities.
Eighty-seven percent of our students are eligible for free and reduced lunch, and more than one-third of our families reside in subsidized housing.
We partner with our students and families to provide a high quality early childhood education and set them up for success.
My Project
Items in my cart will enhance our classroom’s dramatic play space. When students engage in dramatic play, they are able to create experiences by imagining new possibilities and deepen their understanding of the world. Exploration of different cultures by adding multi-cultural foods to our play kitchen and learning how to be a good neighbor by portraying community helpers like a nurse, teacher, or veterinarian will positively benefit our students’ learning experience.
Additional values for dramatic play include learning self-regulation, conflict resolution, and communication skills.
It helps them learn fundamentals for relationship building, increase abstract thinking, and express themselves through language while having FUN!
Support will foster my students’ natural curiosity to learn, complement our curriculum, and allow them opportunity to develop new skills in a fun and empowering environment.
