Happy Friday!

Our friends started their day off with a sensory activity. Children worked with a mixture of Crisco cooking oil and food coloring. They found it exciting when more food coloring was added in the middle of the activity which made the mixture darker! Our friends quickly found out that the mixture was slippery as well :).

Marina and Olivia chose to work with bouncy balls. Olivia threw the ball in front of her and ran after it. Marina bounced the ball on the pea gravel and then moved to the cement. Not only were they using their arms to throw the balls but Olivia started kicking the ball as well!

Chloe and Elizabeth worked on their coordination skills as they rode different bikes around the bike path. Elizabeth is making great progress when she rides the tricycle! Chloe worked on using her legs to push her on her blue horse.

Ozzie worked on his pouring skills. He filled his red bucket to the top and then carefully pour it back into the sand. He did this over and over!

Ozzie, Marina, Elizabeth, and Jada were making birthday desserts in the sand box! Jada brought birthday surprises to her teachers which showed great courtesy for others!

Aiden had floor time today where he worked on picking up different sized and shaped objects. One object he picked up was a round and small kitchen item where the other was a teething ring!

Marina and Olivia played hide and seek with their friends in the play house outside! Olivia said, “Find me!”

After outside time, our friends came in while lunch was being prepared. Marina sat in the swing and had some quiet time to herself while Olivia looked at her reflection in the mirror!

Clara and P.K. have formed a great relationship! For some time today, P.K. followed Clara around laughing and giving her hugs.

For breakfast, our friends had fresh farm eggs and pears. Lunch consisted of whole wheat tortillas with melted cheese, mixed vegetables, and fresh pears. PM snack was yogurt, raisins, and crackers. Aiden sure enjoyed his ‘big boy’ food at lunch! He was a big fan of his mixed vegetables with oatmeal!

Have a great weekend!
