Good Afternoon!

Our friends started their morning off by coloring with markers. They talked about different colors and the images that they were drawing. Marina pointed and said, “Daddy!” Elizabeth concentrated as she drew multiple green squiggly lines. Ellie stayed focused as she tried to put the marker back where she found it.

Children pulled different books from the shelf that they found interesting. Clara requested a book to be read to her that talked about different parts of the body such as hands, nose, and feet. Ellie sat quietly reading her book while talking to herself. P.K. pointed out Dora and many of her friends. Clara joined and they read the book together.

Outside, Ellie pushed the basket while P.K. and Clara headed for the blue dogs. Sydney helped Clara along the circle path.

Marina used her strong leg muscles to climb to the top of the wooden house! She stuck her shoulders out and smiled at her friends. We talked about the easiest way to get down. She said, “It’s hot!” Miss Mindy told her that when the sun hits the wood, it becomes hot.

Clara sat in the sand box where she filled an egg up with sand and gently poured it over her leg. She enjoyed the warm sand falling on her leg.

Our Wee Friend Sydney was nice enough to give a few of our friends a calm and gentle ride around in the basket. They relaxed as the warm sun hit their face.

Elizabeth joined Marina inside the wooden house where they worked on scooping rocks and pebbles. They put the stones and pebbles on the tree stump. Their goal was to get as many rocks on the stump as possible!

Friends gathered over by the house where a few friends were dishing out ice cream! Everyone made sure to put in their orders so they would receive the ice cream of their choice. Elizabeth and Ellie worked together as they prepared the ice cream for their friends. Marina went back and forth between the sand box and the house to retrieve more sand which they were using as the ice cream.

For breakfast, our friends enjoyed cheerios and oranges. Our friends LOVE oranges! AM snack was cucumbers. Lunch consisted of ham and cream cheese roll-ups, corn, and banana. PM snack was rice cakes with cream cheese and raisins.

Have a great evening!
