Good Afternoon!!

While some of our Wee Wee’s and teachers have been out this week fighting a cough virus, the rest of us are keeping busy at the Wee Wee House!

Eleanor began her day by exploring letters. This morning she had a chance to explore the moveable alphabet. As you can see here, she was delighted by the fact that there were so many of the same letters for her to make patterns and explore.

After that we hid some fruits in a bag a played a “guess the fruit” game. The children were especially interested in understanding the difference between pears and apples. Some friends talked about the smell of the different fruits. When it was the teachers’ turn to take a fruit out of the bag, they described shapes and colors of the fruits, some children were able to guess the fruit before it came out of the bag.

 

 

 

Following Jada’s interest, we sat at the kitchen table to peel, cut (using baby knifes) and eat the fruits we are studying. PK and Clara were given two little pieces of unpeeled banana. They explored the bananas and tried sticking their fingers inside it and peeled it.

Eleanor requested pouring water and squeezing songes at the sink and some of her friends decided to join her.

Unfortunatelly, because of the snow, we did not make it outside today. However!!! as our friends were in the mood for music, we danced and played our instruments to the “Hello”, “Pio, Pio” (as Olivia calls it) and “Aram Sam Sam” songs. We also played the drums while teachers modeled the same rhythmic pattern throughout different three songs (at least 2 friends were able to join playing and sustaining the pattern throughout the songs). Two of the songs were “Listen, Listen” and “Bright eyes” (a native american song).

You can find some of our songs in the song section of our blog. For some of them you are able to click on the tittle and listen or watch a short video of it. We are working on putting more songs for you to revisit the at home with your chilren.

Our morning snack was fruits (bananas, apples and oranges). Lunch consisted of Beans and ham soup with corn bread and apples. Our afternoon snack was raisins and crackers.

Have a wonderful day.

Paulina.
