Changes to the Environment

The dramatic play area will feature a fire truck, an ambulance, and an emergency center.  For art play we will draw pictures of fire fighters and police officers at work.  For sensory play we will use our sense of hearing as we listen to directions for “Red Light, Green Light.”  We will add the small plastic emergency vehicles to our unit blocks for construction play.  For small motor play we will do some scooping in our own ice cream shop and for large motor play we’ll enjoy playing outside.
