WF Daily Explorations Friday 4.15.11

 

After lots of morning game playing, we decided to make our own board game. Melinda sat with a small group of older kids to brainstorm what type of game to create. They decided upon a  game with ‘directives’ for each player to act out when their piece lands on the square.

Each friend contributed several ideas such as  “sing you’re A,B,C’s”, “count backwards from 10”, “sing your favorite song”, “tell about the last time you got into trouble”-oh and “sing the Wee Friends Anthem”!!! F.4.12 Dictate something for an adult to write down. F.7.3 Stay with an adult-directed activity or story for 10-15 minutes. 

 The magnetic ball and rod exploration continues with several toddlers. Today, however, they created standing microphones and belted out their favorite tunes! F.1.21 Recite/sing one rhyme or song.F.2.6 Sing songs from favorite movies or television shows from memory. 

 We had our second Easter Egg Hunt this morning and all Wee Friends joined in! F.3.2 Talk about enjoying movement activities.

Please remember to pick up your child’s artwork placed in the narrow shelves above the cubbies! Have a restful and wonderful weekend!
