The kids are just starting our new play theme, Pets and Vets. Starting a new theme takes a bit of time. New props have to be made and added to our centers. We need to learn about the roles of folks that would usually be in each place, and what they would do and say. We read books to learn, and go on some virtual field trips with online eBooks that are helpful. We discuss and model situations that would normally happen at the different centers.
So, we are developing five new centers to go along with Pets and Vets. The Vet Office, the Humane Society, the Pet Bakery, the Pet Groomers, and the Dog Show. The dramatic play area is still the kitchen, with the addition of a dog, cat and pretend aquarium.
Here's a quick pic of a pet getting clipped, shampooed, be-ribboned, you name it, from the Pet Groomers today. More to come as we get into our theme!
