  • Learning through Dramatic Play Is so Much Fun!

    Funded Dec 16, 2023

    Thank you so much for the Pretend Grocery Store for their dramatic play center!!! My students absolutely love it! They are enjoying having fun and learning in that center every day. My students are learning early math skills using pretend money and pretending to buy items just as their parents do in the grocery store. They are learning all the social skills that are needed to communicate when interacting with others in this very real social setting. They are learning to categorize foods by their type: Frozen, liquids, fruits, vegetables, meats and proteins and grains that are all related to their current unit of study, the exercise unit. Thank you so much for your generosity. My students are incredibly grateful.”

We are so incredibly grateful for providing us with these materials that are helping with increasing their language and knowledge.”

All of my students come from a Latino/Hispanic background. For many of them their fist language is Spanish and unfortunately they are living within the poverty guidelines. However, they are extremely enthusiastic about coming to school everyday and learning new things. They're in need of the experiences that every child deserves, hence why we are asking for a more abundant and appropriate science center. A lot of our students want to be scientists and use what we have on a daily basis.
