The students absolutely love playing with the doll house, assembling all the furniture and telling stories about the people that live there. The students are able to develop their language and listening skills when they play at the doll house. They have rich and meaningful conversations and are learning new vocabulary as they play with each other. The students are also able to explore spatial relationships by organizing the furniture into the rooms. This also promotes their use of positional words when they are working together. I am thankful for all of you and very much appreciate your support of my TK learners.
