Happy Wednesday!

We had a nice surprise today! Olivia and Aiden came to visit their Wee Wee Friends. Olivia stayed with us for a while this morning. It was great to see her!

This morning, Marina enjoyed stacking blocks to see how high they would go. They kept falling over so she kept rebuilding the tower. She showed great persistence as she tried it over and over until she built it up to her head!

Sydney read a ‘touch and feel’ book to Marina which she greatly appreciated!

We tested out a new sensory activity! Not only was it fun to manipulate but it made the entire house smell like Ivory soap! First, we took bars of Ivory soap and put it in the microwave. We waited patiently while the soap was in the microwave.

When the soap was ready, our friends used their hands to roll it and break it up into small pieces. It turned into a light play-dough substance that the children enjoyed exploring.

We turned it into snow! Children brought imaginative play into their sensory play. Children pretended it was snow and cars were driving through it. They became very involved and creative with their play using their sensory material.

Chloe joined Olivia underneath the tent where they scooped pebbles with cups and spoons. Their measuring and pouring skills are growing everyday which will help them at the table when they can serve themselves!

The log cabin was a popular hang out spot this morning. Clara climbed one log and held on with their hands. Marina sat and observed her friends playing in the house.

Ellie continues to work on her balancing skills while outside. One of her favorite activities is to walk along the longs. She’s understanding the different things that need to happen so you don’t fall off such as watching your feet and keeping your arms at your side.

Clara really enjoyed working in the sand this morning. She used a shovel and plate to transfer sand onto the logs.

Marina wanted some shade so she decided to head to the deck where again, she built a tower! Only this time, she used Legos instead of blocks. She made sure to snap the legs on tightly so it didn’t break.

Chloe and Marina joined Clara in the sand box where they buried their feet and poured the sand onto different surfaces such as towels and trucks.

For breakfast, children enjoyed English muffins with butter and cinnamon along with bananas. Lunch consisted of turkey on whole wheat bread, carrots, and bananas. PM snack was blueberry muffins and oranges.

Have a great evening!
