My Students

My students are three to five year old Head Start students in the Duquesne area. They come from a variety of different backgrounds and cultures. For many, this is their first time in school, but some are returning students who are glad to help the younger students learn what we do in school.

Play is a common language.

Some of my students speak English, some speak Arabic, but they all love to play. And when children play together they are always learning something new.

My Project

The materials I am asking for will go in our dramatic play center. Currently, the dramatic play center is an inviting center with lots of potential for play and learning. However, the piece of furniture currently in place for students to hang their costumes in is much too big for the space.

With this smaller shelving unit to hang their costumes, my students will be able to organize the dramatic play area independently.

With a place for everything, everything can go in its place, while keeping the center open for imaginative play to occur rather than too much space being taken up by the furniture.
