Whether pretending to be cashiers, shoppers, or delivery workers, our students are developing essential social-emotional, language, and math skills in a fun, hands-on environment.\r\nHere's how the market center is making a difference:\r\n\r\nLanguage Development: Children engage in rich conversations as they role-play, expanding their vocabulary and practicing storytelling, question-asking, and turn-taking.\r\nMath Readiness: By labeling items with prices and using play money, children are learning to count, compare numbers, and begin to understand the basics of money and measurement.\r\nSocial Skills: Taking on different roles encourages teamwork, empathy, and problem-solving. Children negotiate roles, share responsibilities, and practice self-regulation.\r\nCultural Awareness: The market center often reflects diverse foods and goods, helping children connect with and celebrate their backgrounds and those of their classmates.\r\nYour contributions have not only provided a dramatic play market,but also the spark for countless joyful and meaningful learning . The excitement and engagement we see daily remind us of how powerful your impact truly is.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create spaces where our youngest learners can dream, explore, and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1736879535094,"projectUrl":"project/the-big-role-of-dramatic-play/8995971/","projectTitle":"The Big Role of Dramatic Play","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bielowicz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9324185_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723595736453","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9324185"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_47123","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":616,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":78,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":78.8,"schoolId":47123,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Venice Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Venice Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/sarasota-county-school-district/venice-elementary-school/47123"}
