In the van, on the way from swimming, Tami heard over and over “I can’t wait to tell my mom and dad about……!” Make sure you ask your Wee swimmer what his/her favorite moment was!

 

I’ve had two parents ask me specifics about environmental print. I’ve attached a great article explaining this idea and how we utilize it, in early childhood, for early literacy.

A small group of emerging readers gathered today to continue what we began in large group yesterday: creating alphabet letter book marks. Today, Marta created a space for herself, right in front of our alphabet board so she could reference letters as she created hers.

Later, she joined Elizabeth in sequencing the letters (Literacy FAB K.1.19), continuing to reference the letter board as she worked.

Wee Friends worked together to build ships, work with puzzles and Magna Tiles, create art and act out The Two Little Pigs.

We huffed and puffed as we dressed for this blustery day and huffed and puffed some more as the wind blew us into play! We have loved being outside.

Hope you are enjoying your day. –Laurie
