“Look! I can squeeze my letter out!” said Leo as he used the tongs to pick up his scrabble letter.
“Will you read the Mulberry Bush?” friends have been asking. They are requesting a Wee Friends nursery rhyme collection that includes many favorites and also many new rhymes to learn. We offered our felt board characters for them to explore.
“Hickory, Dickory, Dock”is always a favorite. We talked about what a pendulum does and asked each friend to become one. We also asked friends “Where in your house is there a clock?”
Elliott measured bell pepper sticks as Mel cut the Wee Sprouts. “You have three groups now.” he expressed.
Max and Cassie put the finishing touches on the afternoon WF Daily Schedule.
The Matching Game offers, not only excellent for cognitive development, but oh the anticipation that grows as you look for THE card!
“How many of YOUR feet long is the snake you built?”
BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS! Wee Friends can never get enough of our read out loud togetherness.
Today, we squeezed a lot of learning moments out of our friends as we listened, observed and jumped into their Wee play.
Hope you’re squeezing a lot of happiness out of your day.
Laurie
