Hello!

Well…we’re ready!

Our older Wee Wee Friends had such a great time at Miss Charlottes Farm today! It was a gorgeous day outside! We started out by talking about the different animals that live on the farm such as dogs, chickens, cows, and horses.

We headed over to the baby chicks! Ellie, Ozzie, and Jada loved using soft strokes to pet the baby chicks. Some of us were hesitant but came out of our shells rather quickly!

There were some delicious strawberries that we were able to pick and enjoy!

We got a chance to look at a chicken and learn a few interesting facts about them! For example, the teachers got to feel (while children watched) where the chicken stores it food that its eaten before it’s digested.

We walked over to where the goats and sheep live. Our friends were given the opportunity to feed these animals! Children loved when the animal took food out of their hand. Again, we came out of our shells rather quickly! Smile

We headed over to the horse stables where children used their hands to pet the horses softly. Miss Charlotte told our friends to only pet the horses at the top of their nose right below their eyes because they do have sharp teeth! Our friends did a great job at listening to what Miss Charlotte told them.

To the joy and excitement of our friends, children were offered a chance to take a pony ride! Most of our friends jumped at the chance while others enjoyed watching and petting the ponies.

While our older friends were off at the farm this morning, Clara, P.K., Chloe, and Aiden spent the morning with Miss Marty! They sang songs, read books, and had a little outside time! It was a great bonding experience for our younger Wee Wee Friends!

For breakfast, we had cheerios and apples. AM snack was snap peas. Lunch consisted of tuna salad on whole wheat bread, corn, and applesauce. PM snack was snap peas and crackers.

Have a great evening!
