My Project

I teach in a bilingual kindergarten class. My students are excited, brilliant and hard workers. They need basic supplies, like markers and dry erase pocket sleeves. We also need a play kitchen.

Through dramatic play, young children are able to learn and practice important home skills while having fun with their friends.

This helps them also learn valuable social skills as well, like problem solving and cooperation. With this kitchen set and accessories, our classroom will have a wonderful variety of options in our dramatic play center where they can pretend to cook, do laundry, and other pretend games. Dramatic play is one of my students' most favorite centers!
