We’ve started another FAB (Framework for Academic Balance) cycle. We use these foundations as guidelines for Wee Friends early childhood learning journeys. But all day, everyday, we are following individual interests, and working FABS in once the spark has ignited.

Lisa came in today with three new puzzles!

And a box of sparkly heart stickers! We stuck them on, counted them, patterned them and asked “Who has the most heart stickers? Who has the least?” The words most and least rang out as friends talked it over. (K.1.2 Math – Identify sets and see if they are equal to, more than or less than)

FAB K.1.10 Literacy – Say rhyming words in response to an oral prompt.

Lisa explored rhyming words while reading “Do You See A Mouse?” by Bernard Waber.

Later, in her small group, friends made up nonsense words to rhyme with their names!

Pirates, dragons and a wife gathered under the habitrail for an imaginary exploration.

A recent constant companion.

If music (and ballet) be the food of love, play on…..
