Welcome back Wee Friends and Families!

Today, we welcome Eve into the older classroom!

We eased into our day hearing lots of stories about stay at home days and exciting things in their lives.

Max made it to # 38 in The Magic Tree House book series. Owen played store. Aislinn got a new Lego set and Marta ate octopus at a Japanese grocery. Sloane joined the “big kid group” and Leo slipped right into his WF house slippers. Elliott told us about how his daddy put the Christmas tree outside and it stood straight up, all by itself, like a real tree. Elizabeth got a new hat and gloves and still loves Sleeping Beauty. At WF, Finn gets to stay up now, instead of napping. Clara hung ornaments with her mom and Ellie’s new princess shampoo doesn’t make her head itch.

Friends jumped into their favorite places to learn and play. Lisa offered an observation/listening game in which friends listened to an object move around the inside of a box. She showed them a tray with the missing toy and they had to guess which toy they heard.

A stage was built for The Nutcracker and Elizabeth and Sloane cast the ballet and then danced it. Sadly, our Nutcracker recording was not available, so they settled for a synthesized Beatle’s medley.

The Blue Bus will be here on Friday morning.

It’s good to see everyone again! Here’s to the start of a fantastic 2014!!!
