Happy Monday!

After a great weekend, our friends started their Monday off by gathering in the kitchen where they worked with cars and colorful letters. Children chose a car and made noises as they drove it along the table and on the ground. A car even said, “beep beep!” Chloe decided that she wanted to share her car with Elizabeth. She let Elizabeth know this by saying, “Here Elizabeth.”

Elizabeth showed an interest in coloring so she got out markers and paper. She was involved for quite some time and made various drawings. She used different colors and sat at different angles. She stood, sat, and even knelt down so that her face was parallel to the picture.

P.K. had a great time talking to Mommy and Daddy! He said, “Hi” and “Momma” while talking on the phone. He pressed the numbers and even let friends use the phone.

Marina enjoyed setting up the table with a variety of food and serving ware. She held a baby, pointed and said, “Baby Zoey.” Zoey didn’t join us today at Wee Wee Friends due to being under the weather so Marina thought she’d call the baby, Zoey!

It was a gorgeous morning! The sun was shining and our friends took advantage of the wonderful weather. P.K. couldn’t quite ride the big tricycle by himself so his friend Clara gave him a gentle push to get him going. Marina pushed around a basket that she collected pretend food with. She informed a few of her friends that she was going to the grocery.

The sand felt warm on our feet and hands! Marina worked on pouring sand from container to container. Clara and P.K. took shovels and scooped sand up to transfer to different places.

Chloe filled her bowl up with sand, took it over to Miss Mindy and said, “Yum!” Our friends are very creative when it comes to play. They take things and situations they see in real life and apply it to their play. Elizabeth took half of an Easter egg, filled it with sand and began sticking her finger in the middle. She said, “Look my finger made a hole!”

Chloe sat on the teeter totter with Jada. They sat together and then decided to sit side by side. While rocking together, they said, “Wee!”

Marina worked on bouncing a basketball. She found out it is much heavier than a bouncy ball. She was working on strengthening her arms as well as her coordination. Chloe and P.K. worked on their balance as they sat on bouncy balls. They used their hands to grasp the fence and used their feet to keep their balance on the ground.

Our Wee Friend Macy served up food to our friends! She asked what they’d like to eat and our friends responded with their favorite foods! Ellie and Marina joined Sloane in requesting pizza and noodles!  They sat very patiently as their food was cooking and told Macy, “Thank you” when their food was done. We’re working with our Wee Wee Friends on saying “please” and “thank you” in different situations.

For breakfast, our friends enjoyed Chex with pears. AM sprouts was corn. Lunch consisted of noodles with black beans and chicken, green peas, and fresh, juicy watermelon! Our friends kept saying, “More” which means they LOVED lunch! Children even gave the sign for ‘more’. PM snack was string cheese and apples.

Have a great evening!
