Props for Dramatic Play

Dramatic play is an important part of preschool as it helps develop children's social and emotional skills, language and thinking skills, and nurtures the imagination!  I have a minor in theatre and I currently teach summer theatre camps at Utah Children's Theatre.  I have found great success using drama in the classroom!  I'm excited to use the props I've collected, including over 20 puppets, more than 30 plush animal (with several adorable sets of mother/baby animals), lots of costumes including masks, hats, and more!  Dramatic play is valuable in and of itself but at Discovery Adventures Preschool, we step it up a notch by incorporating the academic topics and skills we've been studying.  Plus, using our imagination is just plain fun!  (You can find links to great dramatic play printables on our Pinterest account.)

Learning in Fun Places

I was able to take some time with my kids to go to two museums in the last week.  We went to Utah Museum of Fine Arts for their "Third Saturday For Families" event.  Did you know every third Saturday of the month you can take your kids (for FREE!) to do a different art activity each month?  I love it!  This month, we perused their collection that included some protest posters. Then we created our own posters to explore this art form. My little girl seemed to be protesting forced obedience. He he he.  My son's poster reads: Less School!  (Says the teachers son.  Sheesh!)  The museum also had Club Cultural Quetzalcoatl perform and my son got to learn the dances with them.  I love taking advantage of educational opportunities in the community.

The Leonardo Museum hosts excellent Educator Workshops that I love to get great ideas from.  My son came with me and we had a great time playing in their STEAM labs together!  

I'm getting some more inspiration for Discovery Adventures Preschool this coming fall!

The Adventure Begins

Starting a preschool... wow!  I am so excited!  I am looking forward getting to meet my little learners and their families.  I LOVE teaching and can't wait to do it right at home with adorable preschoolers.  Although my kids are not the right ages to attend preschool this year, they love the idea.

Thank you for visiting my site and taking the time to learn about Discovery Adventures Preschool!  Thank you for choosing to be part of the adventure!
