Letter from Mrs. Schmidt
Dear Families,
I am excited to announce that the dramatic play center is changing into a Garden Shop! During our pretend play, we will build math, literacy, science, and social skills!
Play is powerful. Learning through play creates meaningful learning opportunities. Your child will be:
designing and sketching vases and bouquets
measuring plants
exploring the life cycle of a plant
sorting flowers and materials
using rich vocabulary related to flowers and plants when they pretend and interact with their friends
developing reading and writing skills as they create cards for their bouquets
developing math skills as they count money and create/read price tags
reading labels throughout the center
Students are constantly building social skills during pretend play, too! During play, students take turns, share, wait, control their impulses, and express their feelings through appropriate gestures, actions, and words.
Support their learning by going to a real garden shop or department. Notice the signs, flowers, and plants. Count them and identify the colors. Let your child pick out the flowers, make a card and pay.
