In the coffee shop, children worked together to take orders, write menus, count money, and communicate politely with their peers. During our Thanksgiving and Christmas stations, students explored traditions, shared stories, and practiced cooperation decorated christmas trees, wrapped gifts, and took on different roles.\r\n\r\n Dramatic play also supports emotional development, helping children express themselves, build confidence, and develop empathy—all while learning through play.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helped create joyful, memorable learning experiences that made our classroom feel welcoming and exciting.
