Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend.

Our Wee Wee Friends received some new toys! We loved playing and investing these new toys that showed up in the classroom! They tested out the new mini pianos by using their hands and fingers.

Children jumped and climbed on the jungle gym this morning. This was a great way to use our gross motor skills early in the morning. It sure helped us wake up!

Our friends are showing the signs of being caring and helpful. When a friend doesn’t have a toy, they offer their toy to that friend. They also share their toys when one of their friends asks for a turn.

We dump, pour, gather, and scoop the sand.

P.K. found a long strand of grass very interesting. He waved it around and used his fingers to feel how the grass felt. He used his sense of touch to feel a new piece of grass that he had never felt.

Clara and Marina used their gross motor skills by running around throughout the backyard. They chased one another and then friends soon joined in.

Daniel served up food for his friends. Marina waited at the window while Daniel cooked her up some eggs.

Climbing is an important aspect of our play time outside. Clara and Marina used their leg and arm muscles as they climbed the wooden house. It’s also a great self regulation tool. Clara knew she could only go so high and then she started coming back down.

Clara tilted her head back and relaxed as she looked up at the sky as the sun was starting to peak out of the clouds.

Zoey Marie is really getting ready to take the first steps in crawling. She is up on all fours and starting to put her hands in front of her. She had a ball this morning playing with our new mini piano. She used her fingers to make music!

For breakfast, children had Chex and apples. AM snack was corn. Lunch consisted of whole wheat English muffin with ham and melted cheese, banana, and cucumbers. PM snack was string cheese and whole wheat crackers.

Have a terrific evening!
