Many Wee Friends came in from the cool morning to warm themselves up to an exploration of warm sudsy water and droppers.

Others warmed their bodies up under the habitrail with building and balancing, swinging and stretching their gross motor muscles.

Others stilled their bodies with a good book.

Many of our pre-readers enjoy reading books out loud. We encourage this process by asking them to describe what they see illustrated on the page. We ask them questions about what they have described, encouraging more details to emerge. They are able to draw conclusions about what they see and make predictions about what will happen next. The road to reading starts early!

Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and pear slices. Lunch: Melted cheese sandwiches on whole grain flat bread, mixed veggies and pear/orange/apple fruit salad. Snack: Peanut butter and banana bites, with animal crackers.

Have a great day.
