THANK YOU FOR HELPING US GROW!

The Wee Community thanks you so very much for your hard work this weekend, planting the annual Wee Friends Garden. The garden is one of the Wee highlights and the lessons and growth it offers our Wee Friends is beyond abundant!

Friends couldn’t wait to get outside and discover what the Master Gardeners planted in for Mama Earth’s Kitchen. First we went over the guidelines to ensure the garden keeps growing. Then a few friends recorded what was planted.

The Wee Master Gardeners gave us some great ideas to beautify the garden. First, we set out to create a sign. We used a message board to record ideas about what the sign should say.

When stage one was finished, we collected rocks from our new Bug Rock Garden. We chose bright color paints to paint with.

In another part of the classroom, a few friends gathered to begin crafting felt garden flags. They chose a favorite fruit or vegetable, used scissors to cut out the shape and applied them to the triangular flag.

We are so excited to begin the spring/summer journey of watching Mama Earth’s Kitchen come to life. In large group, after lunch, the song “Mama Earth’s Kitchen” (Susan Rozler)got us talking about ways in which WE can help the earth grow. You’ll find some of the answers on the basement door.

Here’s what was cooked up in Tami’s Wee Kitchen: Wee Sprouts: Carrots and cucumbers. Breakfast: Chex cereal and apple slices. Lunch: Whole wheat penne pasta with shredded beef, mixed veggies and pear slices. Snack: Graham crackers with peanut butter.

Have a great day.
