Hello!

We started our day off at WWF by conducting hands on experiences involving ice that was shaped like hearts. The kids loved playing with the ice and feeling it on their fingers. They could tell whether the ice was hot or cold. They also used the sense of taste by sucking on the ice cubes. Our friends loved how it slid around on the table! While a few of our friends were experimenting with the ice cubes, the rest of the kids were in the living room listening to music. We were jumping, stomping, and twirling to the different songs.

After the ice activity was over, our friends gathered in the living room to have music time. This involved singing and dancing. While the music was playing, children helped by playing the drums and shaking bean bags. They added another talent by twirling scarves around while the music was played. While learning about bears during music time, our friends went on a bear hunt. They came across different textures such as a fluffy green blanket, a rug, and foam tiles. A lot of our friends went through the tunnel and snuck into the bear cave. While having the bear hunt the kids got on all fours and walked around the living room like bears looking for food.

Following music time came outside adventures! The children got bundled up to go outside and say hello to their Wee Friends! Some chose to ride bikes and cars while others chose to play in the sand or swing on the swing set. After being outside for a while, we all started to get cold. So, we came inside for lunch!

Today’s lunch was a hit. All we heard was, ‘more’! :). We started out with pita bread with cream cheese, shredded cheese, and ham on top. Then came the fruits and vegetables which included corn and pears.

Hope everyone has a fantastic evening!
