Macy’s big sisters, Sydney and Taylor, are spending spring break with us! Cassie, too! Our Wee Friends love when visitors are here, especially big kids. Today was no exception as we dove deep into Easter joy with an Easter egg hunt and a song:

“A tisket, a tasket, pass the Easter basket!

Marina’s hands, Sophie’s hands, now who has the basket?”

We worked on using loud, projected voices and the girls answered: “Sophie!” or “Marina!”. They giggled with delight as they heard their own voices reach the rooftop!

We were missing a few sand block letters so Mel invited friends to discover which letters were lost and guess which letters were in the basket.

Elliott built a cage. We recorded words he used and then studied those letters. Ada was interested in transcribing Elliott’s Cage Word List.

Puzzle Mania persists!

Ada is assembling an Orca Study Briefcase, with all things Orca.

The Spring Author Study for our older group will be with author Eric Carle (author of all things earthen and growing! www.eric-carle.com). We jumped into our study today exploring Literacy FAB K.2.3- Generate and respond to questions who, what, where.

After lunch, Melinda read Little Tiger’s Big Surprise by Julie Sykes to our younger Wee Friends. When she asked who (like Little Tiger) in the group had a baby on the way, all 5 friends raised their hand: Elliott, Sloane, Leo, Marina and Marta!

Wee Sprouts: Cucumber and carrots. Breakfast: Raisin Bran and pears. Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with tuna, mixed veggies and bananas. Snack: Hard boiled eggs and goldfish.
