Happy Rainy Afternoon!

While it’s been rainy outside, it’s been a sunny, fun time here at WWF! We started off our day with an excellent sensorial activity. Nutmeg, flour, coffee, chocolate, and all-spice where added together to make an interactive powder that was put in a big tub. Children could smell it, dump it, or sift it. It enriched the air and left the house smelling great all morning! Our friends loved pouring it and seeing what would happen if it was blown in the air. It was a great ‘messy’ but FUN project :).

We continued our morning with music. Music time turned into a throwing exercise using the plastic balls from the ball pit. Children were eagerly throwing the balls to each other or to see how far they could throw it. It was a great interactive exercise that allowed children to use their gross motor skills. At the end of the activity, the ball pit was emptied and it was plastic ball mania in the WWF house!

Children then decided to go into the kitchen to color and to again play in the sensory container. Some children chose to get books out to read. Pooh Bear and Baby Beluga were among the favorites of the morning. Before lunch was served, a few children gathered in the living room to work with velt letters and numbers. We are beginning to identify the letters and numbers and in the context that they are used. For example, children were able to identify that Ellie started with ‘E’ or Marty started with ‘M’.

For lunch today, children enjoyed applesauce, green peas, and chicken and noodle casserole. The casserole was a hit! 🙂

Hope everyone has a great evening!
