FAB K.5.2 couldn’t have appeared at a more appropriate time: just when we moved out clocks forward an hour.

K.5.2-Understand concepts of time: morning, afternoon, evening, today, yesterday, tomorrow, week, month and year.

Sometimes, in the wee hours of the Wee morning, Wee Wee Emma comes over to hang out. This morning she and Leo had a grand time playing in the train loft. They giggled and created and really enjoyed being together.

When the Blue Bus arrived, Miss Jennifer combined our two classes to make a total of 6 kids.

We recognized that Wee time was moving very slowly. So we checked our lesson plans, studied our FABS again and got our clocks tickin…

What exactly do our friends know about time, we wondered. Melinda read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and set out…to find out.

Connection #1: “I have that book at home!” expressed Marina.

Melinda presented the idea of time in the pattern of days of the week. What happens at Wee Friends on each day that might help friends remember what day it is? (ex: Gymnastics Monday, Swimming Tuesday).

As friends slowly arrived, we settled into our projects.

After gymnastics, Finn wondered if it was possible to paint the entire classroom, from top to bottom, purple. As his work got underway, he problem solved aloud, trying to determine if it could be done.

Ben and Leo worked side by side with the pattern blocks. It has become a go-to activity for the duo and today they expanded their work to fill up the number trays.

When Lea noticed their math work, she wanted to join in.

The new pirate ship—the habitrail.

Ada needed tape. We got down our multi colored tape roll and like bees to honey, a table surrounded by Wee Friends appeared. Silent and intense stares at the tape roll. A project got underway.

We asked the question: “Can you name three materials on the table?” Friends named the materials and set out to utilize the three named.

We couldn’t get outside today, but Wee Friends know how to exercise their bodies, rain, snow or shine.

And time marches on…..

Wee Sprouts: Carrot sticks and broccoli. Breakfast: Whole wheat peanut butter toast and pears. Lunch: Melted cheddar cheese on whole grain flatbread, green beans and bananas. Snack: Rice pudding and raisins.

Enjoy your day.
