WWF Daily Explorations, 10-25-11 “The more we read, the more we know!”

001

We had a great morning inside WWF. The children enjoyed pulling so many of our books off the shelves, reading them side by side, together as a group, or with a teacher. We sure made Dr. Seuss proud!

The children also exercised some of their gross motor skills by attempting our obstacle course through the tunnel, then climbing up the jungle gym, and down the slide. One of our fellow WWF overcame their fear of feeling claustrophobic in the tunnel, and continued on like a trooper! It was so great to see the self-confidence in this child evolve. Some of our friends did some painting, while others concentrated on moving all different sizes, and colors of fuzz balls from one basket to another using tongs. This helped the children to recognize the concepts of large and small, learning math skills by counting, and colors. What fun!

Our outside time was spent by singing songs and playing “Follow the leader, and of course, doing our “Criss Cross, Apple sauce” song while we wait patiently near the garage for our bikes, and push toys.

For breakfast this morning we had cereal with fresh cut apples. Our mid-morning snack was carrots. For lunch today we had rice with pulled roast beef, cucumbers, and avocado, bananas and raisins. The cucumbers in particular were a big hit!

As you can see from today’s photos, even on a cloudy day, these wee one’s keep smiling the sunshine!
