Dear Families,

I am excited to announce the dramatic play center is changing

into a campsite! We will be building math, literacy, science, and
social skills during our pretend play!

Students can pretend to be a camper and go camping with their

family. The campers can pack, set up the campsite, build a fire,
cook over the fire, have a picnic, roast marshmallows, eat
s’mores, sing songs around the fire, and sleep in a tent.

Students will be building various math and literacy concepts

during their PLAY! When they pack, they will be counting items and
reading the labels. When they make s’mores, they will be
sequencing. When they go on a hike or nature walk they will be
writing and drawing about nature. When students go fishing, they
will be measuring, sorting, and counting their fish. Students will be
communicating their wants, needs, and ideas with their peers
developing their oral language skills the entire time!

During pretend play, students will be developing MANY social skills

too! Here are some skills they will be working on:
• Self regulation
• Turn taking
• Sharing
• Waiting
• Controlling their impulses
• Expressing their feelings and ideas through appropriate
gestures, actions, and words
• Problem solving

Support your child’s pretend play

by going camping! You can go
camping inside your home, in the
backyard, or at a real campsite!
They can be a real camper and
experience everything first hand!
