WWF, Happy Leap Day!, 2-29-2012

Good Afternoon!

Hope everyone has been able to enjoy some warmth and sunshine today!

Here at WWF, we started off our day by having the children participate in an open play time where they could choose the activity that they wanted to do. Like Jada, some chose to work with baby dolls. Jada sure is getting good at putting a diaper on the baby! Some children listened to stories in the living room while others chose to work with letters. Marina and Clara worked with the colorful, plastic letters and shared them with one another.

Children started to navigate towards the kitchen where they started playing with the blue rice that was introduced to us yesterday. A divider was added which made it interesting for the kids because they had to figure out what hole they wanted to get the rice from. They found out it was tricky maneuvering their spoons and utensils! P.K. loved to use his ladle to move the rice from one place to another.

While our friends were playing with the rice, Lea and Jada decided to paint using pink and silver paint. They carefully used their paint brush to make precise strokes and made sure not to mix the paint together. The silver paint looked beautiful on the pink paper. P.K. dove into the paint as well! Not only did he paint the paper but he also thought outside the box and the floor got a makeover! He had a great time working with the paint! Our friends got a chance to use the carton divider to sort and separate markers. Sloane’s idea was trying to get a marker in every opening possible!

It was so nice outside this morning…we didn’t want to come in! While Jada pushed around the grocery cart, Ozzie decided to manipulate the stones and rocks by putting them in his hands and pushing his hands together.

For breakfast, our friends had cheerios and oranges. Our lunch consisted of whole wheat tortillas with melted cheese and cream cheese, oranges, cucumbers, and peas. This afternoons snack was graham crackers and bananas.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and sunshine filled evening! 🙂
