Good Afternoon!

**We just wanted to inform all of the families that we are going to start offering a late afternoon snack. This snack will consist only of vegetables. It will be offered but not required for the children to eat if they’re not hungry at this time. This snack will be offered between 4:30 and 5:00 daily. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

We started off our day at WWF with play-dough. A track was made on the kitchen table where kids could take trains or cars and use the play-dough track. They loved the feeling of the play-dough and had a great time making sure that the cars and trucks stayed within the play-dough. We introduced some objects such as straws and marker tops for the kids to poke into the play-dough. Concentration was high while our friends drove their cars and trucks trying to make sure that they didn’t bump their car into the play-dough barrier!

After the trains and cars left the station, we indulged in music time. We started off with welcoming all of our friends to music time. Each child loved hearing their name and singing along to the music. The kids worked with drums, music shakers, scarves, and ribbons. A few children chose to interact with the music and the instruments while others chose to enjoy the sounds from a distance, whether they were reading books or playing on the jungle gym observing their surroundings.

Once music time was over, we bundled up our friends and headed outside. While chilly, the children were engaged during play such as riding cars, swinging on the swing singing with Ms. Paulina, or playing in the house with friends. A few friends even went on a nature hunt looking for wood and bark.

However, the cold started getting to all of us. So, we decided to come in which was right in time for lunch. Lunch was a favorite today! Ms. Tami made rice with chicken (which was gone by the end of lunch), mixed fruit including pineapple, banana, and oranges, and finally mixed vegetables including asparagus, carrots, broccoli, and peas. Our afternoon snack will be muffins and the late afternoon snack will be a vegetable.

Hope everyone has a wonderful evening.
