Good Afternoon!

**As we were going through our extra winter clothes this morning, we realized we’re short on Wee Wee Friends clothing. We’re asking that each child have TWO full outfits (pants/shirt) for their extra clothes bin. We would like these by next Monday, November 26th. Thanks so much!**

**Also, we’re getting short on plastic bags for soiled diapers. If anyone has any extra that they can spare, we’d love the donation!

Children gathered this morning and worked with waffle blocks. They made sure to ask for help if they were having trouble but for the most part, friends built different structures without assistance.

Friends attached one to another and made cubes and straight lines.

We got new soft balls that allow friends to squeeze them. The balls allow for a sensorial experience that our friends enjoy!

“Say cheese”, Clara says!

Smiles and great conversation happened throughout the day.

We headed outside where it was quite nice. Even though we didn’t see the sun at all, the temperature was tolerable.

With our group, where one goes the rest follow. Friends like being together which allows for interaction to happen inside as well as outside.

With the hills and steps outside it’s a great gross motor activity to just walk around the yard. The balance aspect is challenging for most of our friends! Walking around with our friends allows us to work on our balance and coordination.

We said, “Wee” as we went down the slide. Clara even put her arms up!

“Wow!”

As we’re strolling around outside, we heard something with our ears. We listened closely and realized that it was the piano in the Wee Friends house! We started shaking and dancing around.

Some smiles, some puzzled faces, and many enjoyable moments occurred outside today!

P.K. said “Come here!” so he could get his friends attention that were across the yard.

They soon followed and played within the group for quite some time.

We walked on the stumps outside that are around the circle area. Our balancing skills were tested and when we fell, we got right back up and continued on!

With all of the playing, P.K. needed a rest break!

We enjoyed stories this afternoon.

Our littlest friend pulled different toys toward her that were attached to her baby jungle gym. Her strength is growing every day.

For breakfast, children had eggs and oranges. AM snack was string cheese. Lunch consisted of hummus on pita, banana, and broccoli. PM snack was graham crackers and hard boiled eggs.

Have a terrific evening!
