Over time she observes that although the children begin each day eager to play in the pretend grocery store, they don’t seem to know what to do with the materials or each other. They mostly argue over the cash register, grab the food cartons from the shelves, and dump them onto the floor. Their play lacks focus, and they seldom talk to one another for real or in a pretend role. It doesn’t take long before the area is a mess and the children simply drift away to other activities. Part 1: Describe three specific ways children can benefit developmentally/academically from playing in the grocery store (ex: practicing language and writing skills by writing a grocery list) Part 2: Identify three teaching strategies from the text and lecture notes that Rosemary could use to support the children’s learning in the pretend grocery (ex: modeling).
