During February the children wanted a Doctor / Dentist office in the dramatic play area. It all began one day when one student create a Doctor mask at the art studio. Suddenly we had an entire class wearing hand-crafted doctor masks, asking each other if they needed a needle or a bandage. The next day, with everyone in the class helping, we put away the 'home' materials and brought out the 'doctor' materials for dramatic play.
This brought out a lot of Language with the children as they acted out their own experiences of going to the Dentist and Doctor. Children took turns being the patients or the doctors. They used clipboards to record patient information and pretended to hand out medicine and doctor notes. It was a very popular learning experience for everyone in the classroom!
