After spending some time coloring, working with play dough and going outside with Lisa,this morning WW’s worked on matching and memory games. Some worked with Amy at the housekeeping table and some used their small rugs to sit on the floor to work with Paulina.

 

For reading aloud today the children read “Brown Bear, Brown Bear” by Eric Carle for second time this week and “Dancing Feet” (another favorite) by Craig & Brown. Children at WWF’s have been especially interested in colors, animals and numbers. Books like “Brown Bear” (and the whole series), the “Blue Chameleon” and “My Many Colored Days” by Dr. Seuss have been of great use and inspiration for this new interest.

Yesterday afternoon WWF’s spent a lot of time outside enjoying the warmer weather.  They continued transferring bean sprouts into small transparent pots. Children are watering the bean plants daily and have also learned to be careful when handling them.

In a more practical note, our “Wee Wee-ests” (Olivia, Sloane and Elizabeth) have been learning to drink from a cup using a straw. In doing this we have realized that they are all very good at sucking from the straw and getting the liquid into their mouths, but sometimes they don’t keep it in. We keep practicing and observing the results.

In our constant search for more insight into the world of 2 year olds we had the pleasure to sit in two of Dr. Medina’s talks yesterday. We are very interested in his findings and would like to recommend to our parents reading these books. Here’s a link to more information about his work.
