Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a terrific weekend! We started off with group play. Friends gathered in the front area to play with airplanes and cars. Sharing was the theme of play today. Taking turns is an important topic that we discuss throughout different play experiences.

Clara cooked breakfast this morning. She turned the oven on and made sure to tell Miss Mindy that it was “hot” and “no touch!”

Emma played peek-a-boo with her scarf. She showed her pearly whites all day!

Zoey enjoyed looking out the window at a squirrel that she saw! She relaxed in the chair for a while today. Play took a lot out of her!

Music was turned on and friends spun and shook about!

Emma spun with a big smile on her face as Eve did a yoga pose!

Gross motor play was enjoyed throughout the day by our Wee Wee’s. Clara zoomed down the slide on her stomach as Emma waited for her turn down the slide.

We went to the kitchen where friends had the opportunity to paint if they would like. Clara and P.K. did an outstanding job at using the sponge to dot the paper. Instead of using it to paint, they pushed up and down on the paper leaving dot patterns. They both chose to finger paint as well .

Our hands just got a little dirty! We sure do love sensory play .

Sensory input at this age is extremely important. Eren tasted the paint in his mouth. We talked about painting on the paper instead of putting it in your mouth. Curiosity at this age is always at an all time high!

For breakfast, children had whole wheat bagels with soy butter and banana. AM snack was corn. Lunch consisted of whole grain noodles with beef, banana, and green peas. PM snack was oranges and animal crackers.

Have a great night!
