Hello!

This morning friends got a chance to color using markers. While this isn’t as messy as say painting, it allows children to explore their creative side. Most of our friends are getting to that stage where drawing or coloring means something. Whether they’re drawing a picture of mommy or of a lion, they relate it to themselves which makes it more meaningful.

This is an example that Daniel drew that showed us he’s past the scribble stage and making meaningful marks. He has clear intention throughout the process. Our older friends are doing a great job at this as well as the fine motor aspect of coloring: control and good grip while holding the marker. Some of us even held two markers at a time!

 

For breakfast, children had Chex and oranges. Lunch consisted of pita bread with soy butter, banana, and broccoli. PM snack was cottage cheese and goldfish.

Have a terrific night!
