As students play they are gaining a very important skill set that helps them develop many parts of the brain that are not measured by an assessment. These skills are used to help develop the whole child. While children are playing they are using communication and language skills as well as social, cognitive and emotional skills.
The Dramatic Play Environment
The dramatic play area should be inviting for students. Including items in the area that give an authentic feel is also encouraged. The center should also include activities and supplies that encourage the students to use literacy skills. Below are pictures of what I used for a vet clinic. Simple items that were donated or purchased at the dollar store. The kids had a great time pretending to be the receptionist, vet and the owner bringing their pet to the clinic. The receptionist took down the information about the pet that was brought in and the doctor and the assistant had to complete a form to give back to owner about the pet. These two tasks encouraged students to use literacy and communication skills.
What a fun learning experience for the students. Yes, I know it's hard to find time and space and what would administration think!! But I say do what's right for kids and give them some exposure to dramatic play.
You can find the labels, signs and forms at my TPT store for FREE! Just click the link below to get them. I hope you and your students enjoy their time at the vet clinic!
Good evening!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Janice Galarza and I am the owner of the blog PreK Partner. Many of you helped me celebrate PreKPartner's 2nd anniversary in March!
Let me tell you a little bit about myself and my classroom. I teach an Inclusion bilingual PreK in San Diego, CA. This is my 12th year teaching and I do not see myself doing anything else. I am reaching out to you because we share the same passion for early childhood education.
Because we ALL have something to be thankful for.....I ask for your help to give back to our followers. I intend to have a 24 days of kindness (December 1-25), and this where you would come in. I would like for each one of you to have a paid TpT product free for 12 hours on *one of those 25 days.
*I'm trying to get 24 people on board to each one host a day of kindness. If not, we can host two separate dates.*
It won't be a giveaway, just a gift for all of our followers. I will create a December calendar and will place the product cover on each day.
If this is something you'd be interested in please let me know at your earliest convenience, we'll go live on Tuesday, December 2nd!
I will need from you:
1. Date you'd like to be on
2. Product cover
Thank you for your support!
