Community workers help keep our neighborhoods clean and safe inside and out.

We Need Firefighters

We will join the other groups for a visit from some La Crosse fire fighters at 10:00.

Wednesday

Sometimes artists paint outside to capture the beauty of the great outdoors.

I Ain’t Gonna Paint No More

We will use big paintbrushes and water to “paint” the shed.

Many people enjoy picnics outdoors in their neighborhood.

Let’s Go on a Picnic by Cate Foley

We will prepare a picnic snack and then go on a picnic.

Friday

 

 

We will join the other groups for the Storytelling Festival at Myrick Park.  We’ll have a picnic lunch there too.

Changes to the Environment

We will use blankets to turn the dome climber into a tent for dramatic play.  For art play we will work with sidewalk chalk and for sensory play we will explore the sandbox.  For construction play we will build outside using the playground blocks.  We’ll do some weaving on the fence outside for small motor play and we’ll blow and chase bubbles for large motor play.
