WWF Daily Explorations, Monday 7.25.11

Finally a morning to go outside and explore!

Finn and Sloane helped Miss Lisa water the flowers. Some of our friends harvest from our garden some green beans, and orange, yellow and purple carrots. They were fascinated by the yummy carrots that showed up from underground as they pulled the plants off from the soil. They learned to break the leafs off and then washed them to eat as a morning snack.

The children played diligently in the sandbox as we talked about filling and dumping sand, and heavy and light. Caelan talked to us about his airplane experience, the pilots, and apple juice. Welcome back, Caelan!

In searching for a way to make our lunch a more socially important event rather than “just about eating”. We have developed a new ritual. WWF now sing a song at the beginning of every meal while they hold their hands.

Our song goes like this:

We are eating together, together, together

We are eating, together our lunch. (and we go one making up new words, depending on what is going on that day)

Our lunch menu today included turkey on whole wheat with cheese, and fresh avocado accompanied by garden vegetables and oranges. This afternoon we will do some music.

Make it a great Monday. Regards, Lisa, Marty, Paulina and Amy
