My Students

When my students enter the classroom, they are learning many new skills such as following a morning routine, putting their belongings away in their cubby, and being a good friend. The students are also learning how to appropriately play with toys that need to stay in the classroom and organized the same way at the end of the day. My students are always eager to play in their favorite kitchen and market center, pretending they are at the grocery store and making everyone in the classroom something to eat in the kitchen (strawberry ice cream is a classroom favorite). The work we do in this classroom and dramatic play area helps build relationships between friends while encouraging imagination, creativity, and learning.

My Project

When it is time to choose centers in class, all 17 of my students want to play in the kitchen and market dramatic play area. It is a classroom favorite and I'd like to make it even more enjoyable for them with new sets of toys that go with the dramatic play theme.

The Pre-K students really enjoy "making" each other food and "shopping" in the market, and these new toys will replace old sets that are incomplete while adding some multicultural elements to our classroom.

Please help us reach our goal!
