My Project

A play kitchen encourages cooperative play, where students can practice taking turns, sharing, and communicating with peers. This can help improve their social interactions and build friendships. It can also help students understand and practice daily routines, such as cooking and cleaning, which can benefit their independence and life skills.

The goal is to boost language and communication by facilitating role-play scenarios that introduce new vocabulary and conversational practice in a fun, relaxed setting.

My students often have exceptional focus, attention to detail, and strong memory skills, which can lead to deep expertise and innovative problem-solving. Their honesty, unique perspectives, and sensory awareness enrich the learning environment and foster genuine interactions.
