My Project

Last year I had a PreK3/PreK4 split so half of my students are coming back to me and they are so excited! I put more energy into the dramatic play area last year and they loved it. It really helped build their vocabulary, social skills, fine motor skills, and imagination.

This year I would love to surprise them with a new and improved dramatic play area!

The kitchen that we have now is super old and we don't have a table for them to sit down at. I want them to be able to pretend that they are at dinner or out to lunch with a friend. We cover nine thematic units so I also want items for farm to table, space exploration, hello school, and all about me. They learn so much through purposeful play!
