Gross Motor Activity of the Week:
Construction Yoga or Charades: If we can be a dog or a tree, we can be construction items as well. Can you be a … Hammer? Ruler? Building? Rubber band? Have fun with this. Your child will have great ideas to act out; just ask them!

Community Helper Art:
After talking with your parents about Community Helpers, you can make this project by cutting your hand prints out and pasting them around a paper plate. Then decorate each hand with a different Community Helper job because all of our Community Helpers give a hand in creating the great community we live in.

Another idea is making a making a “High Five” thank you card for a special community helper.

Here’s a Fun Snack Activity:
Make a Fire Truck: Use graham crackers, Cheese-Its, banana slices, grapes, raisins, or Cheerios. Here’s a sample truck:
