Delight, Educate and Meet State Standards

Ramsey County Parks & Recreation’s Soil & Water Conservation Division is responsible for natural resource protection and management and dedicated to the wise stewardship of soil, water, and habitat within Ramsey County. Since one of their goals is to educate residents, they are partnering with author, licensed teacher, speaker and self-proclaimed “lawn chair gardener,” Dawn Pape to educate and entertain school audiences about native plants and pollinators. To have Ms. Pape visit your school, simply click the link to sign up! This 45-60 minute presentation is absolutely free to your school and she is happy to perform up to three shows per day.

Click HERE more information about the puppet show based on her book Mason Meets a Mason Bee.

Details about the show…

  • This show is 45-60 min. long and geared for K-3 graders. Please let Ms. Pape know the length your school prefers.
  • A maximum of 3 classes (approx. 80 students) is the recommended maximum number of students per performance to ensure that the students can see the hand puppets.
    An area approximately 12 ft. wide x 6 ft. deep to accommodate the puppet theater is needed.
  • Electricity is used to power Ms. Pape’s equipment so a power outlet that can be reached with an extension cord is needed.
  • The theater takes about an hour to set up and take down, so Ms. Pape likes to be stationed in one place and have the students come to her.
  • This show covers a variety of Life Science standards, especially substrands pertaining to life cycles and food webs. Ms. Pape is happy to emphasize concepts that you specify.
  • If you have additional questions, call 651.485.5171 or email dawn@lawnchairgardener.com.
