Good Afternoon!

Friends spent their morning reading stories and cooking up a storm in the kitchen!

We are all at this age where we have the ‘mine’ aspect when it comes to play. If I had it five minutes ago, it’s mine. If I thought about that toy yesterday, it’s mine. If that’s my favorite toy, it’s mine. Children work through their play using words. When they’re upset or angry, we encourage friends to talk with one another.

However, that’s not always the case. When we have non verbal friends, actions are key. A grunt, scream, cry, or ‘upset’ face can let friends know that we are frustrated.

We always try to ‘work it out’!

We headed outside before the rain decided to set in.

As it started to sprinkle, Nora and Saskia did their version of the rain dance!

The sprinkles became more consistent. So, we came inside to play with the water!

For breakfast, children had english muffins with butter and cinnamon along with fresh purple porch strawberries. We finished up the strawberries for a quick AM snack. Lunch consisted of hummus on tortillas, fresh salad with yogurt ranch dressing, and banana/raspberries. PM snack was string cheese and raisins.

Have a terrific evening!
