Dramatic Areas: Spotlight on Preschool 2 (Newton)

I was inspired by my recent visit to Kena's Preschool 2 classroom in Newton and I wanted to share it with you as well!!  I actually could have picked any number of classrooms in Pine Village to do a spotlight on the dramatic area, but I picked Kena's since it really demonstrates how you can use simple materials to make one space look and feel different on a monthly basis! It just requires a little bit of creativity with the use of your materials to set up a fun invitation to play.  Check it out!!
