Apologies for not getting yesterday’s blog out until this morning. I was unaware that the  post aborted mid-publishing!

We started the day outside and after we lathered up our friends, they spread out and  began their interesting work! Simon created a tank modeled after a Star Wars tank.

Kai, Vivian and Finn went on a slug hunt and found a long slug and three babies.

Lea and Ada got wet rags and cleaned the chalkboards, up and down and all around.

 

Jada worked on the tricycle and princess Arleigh and Marta, in the sandbox.

Jane and Alexandra enjoyed the swing and Nate and Macy played house. “I am the grandma!” expressed Nate.

Lisa researched Chilean fabrics and worked with friends on creating a felt mural. Kai had the idea to create felt people that represented Wee Friends. Lisa explained that many fabrics created in Chile tell the stories of the people who live there. Several friends spent their entire morning creating, what will become, a work of art telling the story of Wee Friends!

Melinda took small groups of friends to the back yard to plant maple tree leaves!

Laurie worked with a small group of friends, exploring the llama. We started by reading   “Is Your Mama a Llama?” which is filled with rhyming words. We read two other llama books by Anna Dewdney. We studied the words and then talked about what a llama looks like. Using Paulina’s alpaca poncho, we figured out how to shape our bodies into a llama.

Afterwards, we played a game using the book’s words, Is your mama a llama? “No she’s not!” we shouted and then jumped to the center of the rug and had to guess which animal each friend acted out.

The alpaca poncho (that became a rug!) was very inviting and there were mostly creepy crawling on your belly bugs being acted out.

Todays Wee Sprouts are carrots and cherry tomatoes. Breakfast was Raisin Bran and pear slices. Lunch is peanut butter sandwiches on whole wheat bread, snap peas and watermelon.

Have a great day!
