Mrs. Roman's kindergarten class was featured in an Inside Schools Blog about the role of play in kindergarten.

"One day last school year, a girl in Fanny Roman's kindergarten class at PS 244 in Flushing, Queens arrived bubbling with excitement about her new shoes.

Her enthusiasm proved contagious; in response, Roman read poetry and picture books about shoes and students set up a play shoe store of their own, with different-sized shoes in boxes, labeled "Jellies" or "Sneakers", as they categorized by size and even priced their wares. In their writing, they started using words such as "Velcro," buckles" and "shoelaces."
