Funded Nov 10, 2021Thank you so much for the dramatic play space materials. When the boxes were delivered my students were so excited to find out what was inside. I set up the market place in a corner of our classroom after the students went home for the day. When they returned the next day they were amazed and couldn't wait till stations to play in the market.
The market place has allowed my students to practice their math skills by making purchases in the market of food and paying with the play money. They also are practicing their social skills by taking turns being the different roles: cashier, shopper or smoothie maker. They are practicing their writing skills by taking pretend phone orders. They were enjoying the market so much but wondered what to do with the items after shopping. So we created a home space next to the market for them to take the items home to sort them.
The market place has been such a valuable addition to our classroom. We truly appreciate your donations to make this possible for us. Our next goal is to add a sensory table and supplies to our classroom.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Hansbury
