Good Afternoon!

*Since it is starting to get a little warmer outside, we just wanted to inform parents that we intend to go outside whenever we get the chance. Please make sure that you child has the appropriate attire at WWF such as hat, snow pants, coat, boots, and gloves. Thanks!*

Here are some photos from yesterday afternoon. We had our afternoon snack that consisted of apples and Lea was our special helper. Lea used the apple peeler to prepare apples for all of her friends. Our friends loved how the apple got cut into small pieces to make it easier to eat! Lea sure did use a lot of force and strength! Who will be our next special helper?

We started off our morning at WWF by having music time. Our friends worked on their beat and rhythm by using shakers and drums to make musical sounds. A specific beat would be given and children were repeating the beat! Ms. Paulina played the “Quena” (an andean flute) while children added drums in the background to combine the two different sounds.

Once our music time was over, the children gathered in the kitchen for some painting and water play. While working with the blue paint and green/blue colored water, children were in high sensory mode. Children gathered around the sink to splash the water as well as dump and scoop the water into different containers.

After our sensory exploration in the kitchen was completed, we traveled outside for some fresh air. While the sun wasn’t out that much, it still felt good to be able to run around! Some friends chose to ride bikes and tricycles while others played inside the wooden house.

Once lunch was ready, we gathered all of our friends and headed inside. Of course we took off all of our snow pants, coats, and boots. Our friends are getting very independent in terms of being able to take their snow gear off!

For breakfast, we had chex cereal with milk. Our morning snack consisted of cucumbers. Our friends enjoyed hummus on whole wheat bread, fruit salad (pineapple, crasins, and apples), and cucumbers for lunch. Afternoon snack was yogurt and muffins.

Hope everyone has a terrific evening!
