My Project

Our self-contained pre-k classroom is missing some critical parts for self-led learning of adaptive skills. Because our school does not have the resources for a new classroom set, our class has not pieced together all the materials that align with our curriculum. Our students need support learning how to use the materials, but this is impossible if they are unavailable.

Dramatic play is a critical component of any pre-k classroom as it allows the students to mimic the behaviors they see around them.

This helps shape adaptive learning skills and encourages appropriate pretend play. Dramatic play also allows for exploring fascinating topics like health, science, math, literacy, and social skills. Without the tools, the collection of toys does not encourage a cohesive imaginative experience.

Your contribution to this project will significantly impact students, who will have limited opportunities to explore their world safely. Thank you for bringing the world to our classroom.
