Happy Monday!

Parent Communication:

• Farmer Charlotte is collecting egg cartons for her farm eggs. Please feel free to donate any cartons that you might otherwise recycle. Drop them off at WF and we will take them to the farm for you.
• On Wednesday, Tami and a WWF teacher will be taking the Wee Wee’s to the farm. There will be no friends from WF going this week.
• For our summer study “Around the World in 55 Days”, many of you have offered to come to WF and share information about a country of your choosing. Please communicate with a WF teacher which summer morning you’d like to come. Paulina will present Chile on June 4th and we are closed the week of July 2nd. Otherwise, we are wide open! Our vision is that you would come for one ‘session’ at the beginning of the week and we would spent the remainder of the week further exploring the country you’ve introduced to WF. Thank you so much!!! And….no pressure….
• Swimming, as usual, tomorrow. 9:30 departure.

The Blue Bus came this morning, as usual, and while groups took turns working out, friends gathered around the art table to begin the first step of creating Paper Mache globes. We started with a balloon and friends dipped strips of newspaper into a water/flour mixture. They covered their balloon with the paper and set it aside to dry overnight.

After this project, we set out two math materials: cards with Lisa and wooden numbers, markers and paper with Laurie.

Lisa explored numeric values with “Crazy Eights” and at the table we discussed addition and equal signs.

I mentioned Friday that our friends finished their original books. They are on the shelf above the cubbies for you to enjoy!

Today, in preparation for our trip around the world, we examined and discussed skin color. Using multi-cultural markers, friends chose a color they felt best represented their skin color and then drew a self portrait in the first page of their passport.  We began the day singing a WWF favorite “We All Sing With the Same Voice” to study different children around the world and the color of their skin.

Wee Sprouts: snap peas and carrots, Breakfast: Corn Chex and apple slices, Lunch: Whole wheat penne pasta with red and black beans, mixed veggies and watermelon.

Have a great Monday.
