My Project

My students love the dramatic play center, but it is old and needs an upgrade. I would like for my students to have a new and fully functioning play area. The play kitchen they have now was damaged by flooding the school had one summer, but they did not have the funding to get a new dramatic play area. So we are making do the best we can with what we have.

We need this to help us learn how to act in a real kitchen and restaurant.

These are skills that will last us a lifetime but begin in preschool. The students will learn how to feed a baby. The students will learn how to wash a dish in a sink. They will learn how to prepare food on a stove. Most importantly, they will learn how to interact with each other.
