Every day, our students eagerly choose these activities during center time and work together to solve problems, create, and explore. \r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was contagious. They couldn't wait to explore each game and manipulate the colorful play dough. Many immediately invited classmates to join them, demonstrating curiosity, cooperation, and joy.\r\nAs we continue using these materials, our next steps are to introduce more challenging games that promote early math and literacy skills, encourage students to create their own rules and problem solving strategies.","fullyFundedDate":1778262712870,"projectUrl":"project/play-learn-repeat-building-skills-wit/10202973/","projectTitle":"Play, learn, repeat!

They immediately began exploring, selecting and manipulating the materials they wanted to use according to the assigned area.\r\nThey pretended to run a pizza shop, they were taking orders from their friends and placing the pizzas in their boxes; while others became barbers and hairdressers, carefully styling hair, shaving, cutting hair using the pretend tools, and engaging in conversations with each other. Spring will be the right time to set up our flower shop where our students will arrange bouquets and sell flowers.\r\nThese materials have encouraged my students to use more expressive language, cooperate with one another, and take on meaningful roles. I observed them assigning roles, taking turns with these roles, and showing each other how to use the materials appropriately.\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue expanding their experiences by introducing new themes, vocabulary, and simple writing opportunities such as order forms, appointment books and signs. I also plan to rotate materials to keep their interest alive and encourage deeper exploration of different roles.","fullyFundedDate":1768943597299,"projectUrl":"project/imagination-at-work-dramatic-play-makes/9981568/","projectTitle":"Imagination at Work: Dramatic Play Makes Sense!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Covinos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1159179_orig.jpg?crop=581,581,x46,y184&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730757676699","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1159179"},{"teacherId":1159179,"projectId":9569985,"letterContent":"The use of loose parts in our classroom has greatly enhanced my students' learning and engagement.

These open-ended materials have allowed them to experiment freely, think flexibly, and collaborate with their peers during play. Through building, sorting, and creating, they have strengthened their fine motor skills, communication, and confidence. \r\nThe loose parts will continue to inspired the children to take ownership of their learning and express their ideas in imaginative and meaningful ways.\r\nThank you so much for making this possible for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1755665679989,"projectUrl":"project/with-loose-parts-play-we-will-have-a-wo/9569985/","projectTitle":"With Loose Parts Play, We Will Have a Wonderful Day!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Covinos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1159179_orig.jpg?crop=581,581,x46,y184&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730757676699","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1159179"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_27152","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":80,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":66,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - Pre-K","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":27152,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hillary Broadous Early Education Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hillary Broadous Early Education Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/hillary-broadous-early-education-ctr/27152"}
