I have chosen materials that will help strengthen my students' fine motor skills, encourage language development and provide endless opportunities for creative, collaborative play. These materials were chosen based on the developmental needs of my students. Many of my students struggle with language development, so by giving them materials that encourage language development they have more opportunities to learn to speak. These materials also encourage cooperative play so they can have many opportunities for social interactions. The various families for dollhouse also represent the diverse class we have. The dolls will provide the students with families that are like their own that they can relate or connect with. Through dollhouse play, language development happens naturally.
