After making a field trip to an animal farm or zoo it's a good idea to place toy animals and other similar props in the dramatic play learning center in the classroom. The main purpose of doing this is the children to A, learn to say and spell the names of different B, enhance their self esteem by playing with new toys C,symbolize the abstract ideas they gained from the trip in a concrete way D, copy the animals and other objects in their drawings

I think the answer is c I'm just trying to make sure

I agree. The answer is C.

Thank u:-)

You're welcome.

The main purpose of placing toy animals and other similar props in the dramatic play learning center after visiting an animal farm or zoo is to allow the children to symbolize the abstract ideas they gained from the trip in a concrete way (option C).

By having these props available in the classroom, the children can use them to recreate and represent their experiences at the animal farm or zoo. This form of symbolic play helps them process and make sense of their new knowledge and experiences. It allows them to role-play and reenact their observations, conversations, and interactions with the animals.

Additionally, it can also enhance their language development as they learn to say and spell the names of different animals (option A). They can engage in conversations and describe the characteristics of the animals they observed, which in turn further expands their vocabulary and communication skills.

While playing with new toys can enhance their self-esteem (option B) by providing them with novel and engaging materials, this is not the main purpose of incorporating the toy animals into the dramatic play learning center. Similarly, although children may be inspired to draw animals and other objects they encountered during their trip, copying them in their drawings (option D) is not the primary objective of including the props in the classroom setting.
