WWF Daily Explorations 4/20/2011

Today WWFs begun their morning painting together at the kitchen table, assisted by Ms. Lisa. They moved on to Yoga with Ms. Paulina practicing Butterfly poses and downward facing dog, ending with a relaxation.

We also practiced some Cha-Cha moves dancing to Sam Cooke’s song  “Everybody Loves to Cha Cha Cha”using the colored scarves.

Today WWF’s listened to “Daisy and the Eggs” by Jane Simmons and “The Very Lonely Firefly” by Eric Carle.

Yesterday afternoon WWF’s rolled our hard boiled eggs in  paint and then rolled them on paper.  They cracked some of the shells, peeled them, felt the yolk, and the texture of the eggs. Also, our firefighters  pretended to be driving the fire truck using different color circle wheels and sitting in little chairs lined up as a truck. The ability to pretend is very important to your child’s development.  Children who know how to make  believe develop a good vocabulary, which is important for reading. They learn to cooperate with others and to solve problems, and are able to think abstractly-all important skills for success in schools.  When children pretend, they have to recall experiences and re-create them.

Have a wonderful rest of the day!

  1. Thanks! This blog is becoming a wonderful tool to pick into wee wees everyday life at WWF! I feel it as a window that helps Mauricio and I participate much more into Maite´s learning process as well. I know it entails a lot of effort but it is all worthwhile!

  2. I agree. We are really enjoying thses entries as well! Now we can ask Finn specifics about his day… and often get hilarious responses. Before my favorite question was “Did you eat a yummy lunch?”- usually with no response ;-)! On the other hand “Did you have fun rolling your eggs in colored dye today?” prompted a whole conversation! Thanks again!!!
