Hello!

Our morning started off with a bang! Friends moved about throughout the house. Happiness was evident all day! Our friends are enjoying baby Maya. We’re learning what we can do with babies as apposed to what we can’t do!

To extend our glorious morning, friends headed into the kitchen where they dabbled in shaving cream. The sensorial experience was awesome for all involved!

It was a lovely morning. A light breeze in the air filled the backyard!

For breakfast, children had cheerios and pears. Lunch consisted of homemade pizza with fresh veggies, mixed fruit salad with banana, apples, and blueberries, and peas. PM snack was cottage cheese and whole wheat crackers.

Have a great night.

We got outside as quick as we could….and blew bubbles! Our bubbles led us to blasting “Bubbles in the Bathtub” out the backyard door. As we scrubbed out bodies, we danced, hopped onto “The Love Boat” and sailed the big steamer, meditating to “My Heart Will Go On”. All in the glorious sunshine!

Enjoy this beautiful day!

Wee Sprouts: Sweet peppers. Breakfast: Oatmeal Squares and pears. Lunch: Homemade pizza, fruit salad (blueberries/bananas/apples) and peas. Snack: Bananas and cheese.

Good Afternoon!

Eve and Keerthi started off their morning whipping up some breakfast in the kitchen! We’re working on sharing our toys and using our words when we want or need something. At this age, words are golden . Children are learning the different words to use in certain situations such as no, mine, and please/thank you.

Children gathered in the story area where Miss Marty read multiple books. Friends gestured and followed along.

It was another nice day outside. Baby Maya and her friends ventured outside where we watched our Wee friends wrap up water play. Most of us headed to the teeter totters where we went back and forth while singing a song.

For breakfast, children had chex and blueberries. Lunch consisted of turkey, cheddar cheese slices, tortilla bread, blueberries, and mixed vegetables. PM snack was fresh garden cucumbers and hard boiled eggs.

Have a great night.

*Thank you for remembering to lock the door as you enter and leave Wee Friends each day!

“The spirit of the water has no bounds. Honor the water, as rain drops fall to the earth, honor the lakes and rivers and oceans, honor the waters as you bathe or shower each day, and give thanks for each glass of water you drink.” And don’t forget the Wee Friends sprinklers.

We spent our morning outside, honoring and enjoying the cold water on our hot skin! Water makes up happy. It cools us off, it instantly engages us, it lightens us up and it refreshes us in every way!

Wee Sprouts: WF garden green beans. Breakfast: Cheerios and pear slices. Lunch: Turkey and cheddar cheese sandwiches on whole wheat bread, fruit salad and peas. Snack: Pretzels and hummus.

Happy Monday!

Today, we welcomed baby Maya! She is Eve’s sister and we are so glad to have her here at Wee Wee Friends!

We also celebrated Eren’s 2nd birthday! He brought in a delectable treat for afternoon snack! Thanks to Eren and his Mom and Dad. Happy birthday Eren!

Friends headed outside this morning where we spent time in the beautiful sunshine. It was a gorgeous morning! The sandbox was a hit. We love when the sand is a little damp. It’s so much better to build with .

For breakfast, children had cheesy eggs and blueberries. Lunch consisted of whole grain noodles with kidney beans, corn, and pineapple/blueberries. PM snack was Eren’s birthday cupcake and cheddar cheese slices.

Have a lovely evening!

For the next two weeks Washington HS Senior (and Mel’s niece) Amanda Brown will be earning service hours at Wee Friends. Welcome! Also, Cassie and Finn are back!

The morning began with music. That led to a request, by Sophie, for The Wizard of Oz.

Our new big sisters continue to act out their new roles by caring for their babies. This morning Grandma Lisa babysat while the moms went to the ballet. Then they rode a train with Granny at the helm.

Caleb and Elliott worked on the signs “STOP” and “GO” and studied the letters that make up those words. Finn showed us his wet polyester pirate’s hat, so we explored that word as well.

Sydney set out to find as many ways to build with Magna Tiles as possible. A leg cast and bracelet were among the several creations she……created.

A great start to our Wee Week! Happy Monday!

Wee Sprouts: WF garden green beans. Breakfast: Whole wheat bagels with peanut butter and pear slices. Lunch: Penne pasta with red beans, cucumbers and tomatoes and blueberry/pineapple/pear fruit salad. Snack: Yogurt and oranges.

Obey. It’s a word that is never used at Wee Friends. Do we encourage our friends to listen to their teacher’s and friend’s words? Absolutely! But never O-B-E-Y. That’s why it was such a surprise when the word appeared underneath our sand letter writing exploration. The teacher’s intention was to create the word BE, and the bookend letters did not even come into the radar. Oops and hehehehhe. That was a funny one.

The other words that came into view did happen today: Nice, Hapy and Jug. Jugs of water being consumed to keep us cooled down. That and finding the coolest parts of our backyard.

We also experimented with stilts.

It is a hapy and nice day. We have obeyed the only two Wee Rules: treat others with kindness and run to the potty as fast as you can.

Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Cheddar Cheesy grits and bananas. Lunch: Hummus on whole wheat tortillas, bananas and carrots. Snack: Pear slices and graham crackers.

 

There was a car and a piggy….who drove the car. We began our day assembling a consonant puzzle and then telling a story, using the puzzle boards as our subjects.

Ada and Arleigh found a beautiful dead fly-fully intact with all it’s iridescent colors. They chose to pin it onto the insect board.

The dinos (after being repaired) were adorned with their new colorful wardrobe!

To cool everyone off, Lisa led a game of hide-and-seek, under the shade of the Wee Wee tree, using her sun glasses.

What better place to seek respite from the sun than the cozy corner of our green garden. Elliott and Lea enjoyed caring for the garden….and having a little snack.

Tomorrow, we are planning on setting up water play in the backyard. If your child doesn’t have a suit at Wee Friends, please bring one in tomorrow! Thank you!

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers. Breakfast: Cheerios and apple slices. Lunch: Peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat, WF garden kale with Ranch and green grapes. Snack: Orange slices and cottage cheese.

Enjoy your day!

Good Afternoon!

Throughout the morning, friends chose what they wanted to play with. The option of choices during the day makes for wonderful play between friends!

A group of friends chose to play in the gross motor area.

Our friend Eren chose to read for quite some time. He’s a BIG fan of stories lately .

Keerthi and Eve played dress up with one another. They both wore capes and flew throughout the Wee Wee land!

We headed outside for a little while this morning. Most of us stayed in the shaded area. The scattered breezes felt nice so we put our arms out to fully feel this wonderful breeze!

For breakfast, children had whole wheat toast with soy butter and oranges. Lunch consisted of soy butter sandwiches, peas, and green grapes. PM snack was string cheese and apples.

Have a terrific evening!

Happy Wednesday!

To start off our day, friends headed to the gross motor area where they rocked back and forth on the mats. Children found different ways to be active using this toy.

We became monkeys.

Friends found their stride this morning after getting loose in the gross motor area.

The morning was ended with music time using rings as props. Music blared as friends spun, wore, and threw the rings while listening to their favorite tunes.

For breakfast, children had cheesy eggs with banana. Lunch consisted of Miss Lisa’s homemade Ratatouille, tortillas, and bananas. PM snack was homemade zucchini bread and fresh blueberries.

Have a wonderful night!
