Welcome Back!

Hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday!

**We ventured outside for about five minutes this morning (chilly and snow covered backyard). While we were all dressed warm, if you could please make sure to send your child with a warm coat, snow pants, gloves, hat, and boots everyday. We found out this morning that our friends don’t like their hands getting wet . The cloth gloves don’t work that well because they get wet fairly easily. Our friends love to play with the snow and it makes it difficult to do so with cloth gloves. If you have the water resistant type gloves to bring in that would be terrific! Thanks so much!

We all got back in the swing of things today. Our friends observed and tested out our new structural addition to the WWF establishment: a new gate from the play area to the kitchen!

Miss Tami also put in a new mirror by the cube where the felt board used to be. We loved looking at our reflection in the mirror.

Friends gathered in the cube where they played with wooden shapes. They built a tower by placing one block on top of another.

A few of our friends enjoyed working with trains this morning. Daniel put different cars and trains in a row one after another. P.K. took the wooden trains around the room.

Daniel also put out different farm animals on the floor. We went through the different animals and the noises that they make.

Children got into reading books for a while this morning. It was a great transitional activity for the start of the day.

Emma enjoyed worked with the abacus.

The kitchen was the hot place to be this afternoon.

Daniel and P.K. enjoyed some quiet time on the jungle gym.

For breakfast, children had cheerios and apples. Lunch consisted of whole wheat noodles with chicken, broccoli, and banana. PM snack was pretzels and string cheese.

Have a great night!
