Good Afternoon!

We’re giving Elizabeth our ‘sunglass kid’ award today 🙂

The WWF house started off the morning with a sensory activity. Our hands were blue but the kids spirits were high! Thanks to our friends next door, we were able to manipulate rice that was died blue. Kids sifted, poured, and measured the rice along with just finding out how it felt on their hands. There was great interaction happening while the kids were in discovery mode. Our friends talked to each other about what they were finding out.

Chloe loved using the ladle to pour the rice into different areas of the bin while Olivia chose to use a bowl for the rice. Our friends were sharing their utensils with one another and making sure that all of their friends had something to discover with. Jada was interested in looking at each grain of rice individually and pointing out characteristics such as ‘it’s small’. After some discovery time, our friends began to find out that if they moved the rice enough, they could see the light from the light table. They found this extremely interesting and loved ‘looking for the light’!

Sloane decided to hold a cup in one hand and the ladle in the other hand and pour the rice back and forth. Her measuring skills are top notch!

After discovering different characteristics about the blue rice, Lea decided to color. She was very precise as to how to color with her markers. She got down close to the paper and really focused her attention on the stroke that she was on.

After sensory time in the kitchen, our friends ventured outside! From what we hear, the weather is supposed to be getting more ‘spring’ like! Fingers are crossed! P.K. decided to use his gross motor skills by walking and finding a way to get up the stairs. Marina loves to venture out and explore the back yard! She had a great time swinging with her new friend Chloe as well as riding different tri-cycles.

Clara decided that she wanted to use her gross motor skills by crawling herself over to a basket and sitting in it. She thought this was funny as she began laughing, causing her friends to laugh as well :)! Ozzie decided to start a puzzle which he was extremely successful at. Ozzie is a big fan of cars and trains so this was right up his alley!

For breakfast this morning, our friends enjoyed whole wheat toast with soy butter and fresh pears. For AM snack, we had broccoli. Our lunch consisted of melted ham and cheese on whole wheat tortillas, peas, and fresh pear slices. This afternoon we had rice cakes with cream cheese and raisins/craisins. This snack is always a big success 🙂

Hope everyone has a great evening!
