Happy Friday!

**We’re asking for extra small pony tail holders that parents are willing to donate. Our friends love getting their hair done and we’re running out. Thanks!

Story time started off our morning. We sounded out different words such as “Eleanor” along with different animals in the story.

We travelled outside where P.K. and Chloe went straight for the teeter totters. It’s been hot and humid this week so we haven’t been outside a lot. We sure did enjoy being outside this morning!

Our friends travelled back to the flower garden where we observed a few tomatoes that are starting to grow. They are still green and children were told that when they are ready, they’ll turn red!

Children used their sense of smell to smell the different flowers in the back yard. We also talked about the color of the flowers and how they smelt.

Marina said, “Purple like my shirt!”

The pinkish red flower was beautiful and our friends loved the color!

Ellie used her sense of smell with a lot of different flowers.

The doggie next door was outside. He was barking and our friends talked back to him. P.K. pointed at the dog and said, “Ruff.”

Marina and Clara joined one another in the kitchen to play pretend. Marina made the food while Clara was served while sitting at the table.

Our friends painted before lunch time. They chose the color of paper as well as paint that they wanted to use. Brushes and fingers were used to make different artwork.

Chloe smiled as she saw that she got paint on her finger!

Marina dove into the paint and decided to use her hands to paint.

As Chloe listened to music out in the living room while painting, she started to dance! Clara loves using her hands to paint while P.K. enjoys using the paint brush.

Clara shows her friends and teachers that she got purple paint all over her hand! P.K. made sure to push the brush down hard to get all of the paint onto the paper. Ellie made circular motions with her brush.

Ellie was very careful to keep the paint on the paper. Clara went all in and enjoyed her sensory time with the purple paint.

Zoey had floor time today where she continues to excel at keeping her head up as she lays on her tummy. She did get tired after a while and rested her head on her arm.

For breakfast, children had Chex and apples. AM snack was cucumbers. Lunch consisted of whole wheat tortillas with turkey and melted cheese, blueberries (that went FAST!”), and cucumbers. PM snack was animal crackers and raisins.

Have a great weekend!
