My Project

We are looking for a better way to store and display our dramatic play so this cart will be a great addition to our space. Our students learn through play and are excited to pretend with cars and other real objects. The items we are requesting will make our classroom space more exciting and help students grow.

Since items are tucked away, our students spend a lot of time looking for the items they want to use when instead they could be creating more complex creations.

When students work together with items they pretend with, they can become a part of the environment they are learning about such as becoming a chef or doctor. They are so much more able to intensify their use of vocabulary that goes along with what they are doing. It's amazing to see their growth.
