For too long, kindergarten students have been treated like tiny adults instead of the little children they are. Fortunately, we have adopted a new reading curriculum that focuses on learning through play! We finally get to let the children play!! This project is to provide costumes and props for our new dramatic play area. We are starting from scratch and are super excited to see how our students' creativity and English language develops. Through costumes and props, students will not only have fun, but they will learn how to share and communicate, how to resolve conflict, and how to engage themselves creatively without step-by-step guidance.
