Thank you so very much to all the parents who joined us for caroling yesterday! Your Wee Friends and Wee Staff were so happy to share that time with you!

Today, Tami reported that the swimmers are making great progress! Several friends have mastered putting their heads under water. Others, who wear flotation devices, have had layers of the bubble inserts removed, offering less support. They are slowly moving out of flotation help altogether!

While the swimmers were away, a small group of friends talked about the Grinch. We cut out large and small hearts and remembered how the Grinch’s heart started small (grouchy/mean or hitting friends) and by the end of the story, his heart grew and opened up (he liked to share and speak kindly to his friends). We taped hearts of all sizes to our tree collage. 

Elliott, Sloane and Lea had a discussion about dinner. Lea and Sloane imagined that the puzzles in the basket were their dinner. “Puzzles are not dinner.” replied Elliott. “Yes, they are.” responded Lea. “Uh-huh.” nodded Sloaners. “No. Only food is dinner.” insisted Elliot. This debate led to a discussion about how we use our imagination and how people see things in different ways.  It was a smooth conversation and gradually ended with each friend satisfied and ready to move on.

Wee Sprouts: Cucumber slices. Breakfast: Kix and pears slices. Lunch: Whole wheat tortillas with refried beans and cheese, romaine salad and bananas. Snack: Yogurt and apple slices.
