If you have a special education preschool classroom, you know one of the toughest areas for our children is play. They just don't know what to do with all of the materials and some of our children may not even know the function of the items and materials in the play area.
This month, we are utilizing a dramatic play post office. The post office has structured tasks for the children to complete in order to make meaning of the materials. Here's a peek inside to some of the tasks we are completing.
Sorting Big vs. Small packages
I found these envelopes at my local dollar store and they are perfect and durable for the children to sort.
Numeric Literacy Match
A few years ago, I bought these tin mailboxes from the Target dollar spot. They are perfect for this task! You can also use small containers and stick the numbers on them- just like teacher mailboxes at school.
Fine Motor: Tracing Letters
I like to add foam stickers and a variety of materials for my students to use to decorate their work.
Color Sorting
This box is an old shoe box and I used a sharp exact knife to make the slits for the envelopes.
Thanks for checking out this dramatic play fun! If you want this resource to use with your students,
