Happy Wednesday!

Our art activity for the day involved using different color paper which consisted of purple, green, and blue. Children picked out the color that they would like to use. We used metallic water colors which were pearl, silver, and gold.

When painting, children like to have the opportunity to use different mediums such as tempera paint verse water color. Our friends love to be in control of their work such as picking out the color of their paper or saying, “All done” and getting a clean paper.

Friends take their time and use careful strokes that are put onto the paper. P.K. took his brush and pushed it down making the shape of the bristles at the end of the brush.

Daniel smiled as he said, “Done” after painting his second picture.

After the rain passed, we headed outside before lunch time. Our Wee Friends had the trampoline out so we joined in. Marina, P.K., and Daniel all waited patiently for their turn.

Some friends look down at their feet at they’re jumping to make sure they don’t fall. While jumping, we told friends that it’s important to hold onto the handle bar to stay balanced on the trampoline.

Emma enjoyed working on her gross motor skills during nap time. She climbed up on the jungle gym and slid down the slide. She practiced walking from a book self to Miss Mindy. She is doing great at staying up on her feet and walking toward a friend or teacher.

This afternoon, Zoey grabbed different toys to play with. Her friends brought her multiple toys to choose from. She’s becoming more stable when she reaches for toys. Instead of falling over or losing her balance, she sits right back up.

Friends enjoyed each others company on the jungle gym.

After we were done with afternoon snack, we listened to toddler music. The song ‘If You’re Happy and You Know’ came on. Marina played peek-a-boo and tickled her ears as the music instructed. Our friends like music where it directs you to follow certain steps.

For breakfast, children had eggs and pineapple. AM snack was green peas. Lunch consisted of whole wheat macaroni and cheese with cream cheese and peas, mixed fruit (banana, oranges, pineapple), and mixed vegetables (corn, carrots, green peas). PM snack was goldfish and apples.

Have a terrific evening.
