At breakfast this morning, Owen asked “How can fish hold their breath for so long?” By the time most of our Wee Friends had arrived, this question had turned into a coral reef sensory exploration.
The latter part of our morning was spent walking and discovering a tree being cut down. This held our interest for quite a while. We walked back along the train tracks.
Have a beautiful day. –Laurie

Hello!
This morning, Lulu serenaded us with her version of, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” which then proceeded to lead into the “ABC’s”. You could hear friends throughout the room following her lead 
.
Maya waved a BIG hello to her sister Eve next door this morning!
Not only did Anna enjoy some floor time (she’s rocking out the tummy time!) but she also saw her brother Owen outside. Two thumbs up.
This mornings sensory activity was tempera paint.
Our tempera paint activity resulted in an exploration about tap. We learned:
1. It’s very sticky.
2. After you play with it enough, it ends up being a ball.
3. When you stick it in your hair, you might have a hard time getting it out . (ouch)
For breakfast, children had malt-o-meal and banana. Lunch consisted of cheese and ham filled tortillas, pears/watermelon, and fresh green beans from our garden. PM snack was thin rice cakes with hummus and strawberries.
Have a terrific evening!
Enjoy this cool day! –Laurie
Breakfast: Rice cakes with PB and honeydew
Lunch: whole wheat flatbread with ham and mozzarella cheese, fresh garden green beans and cherry tomatoes, and watermelon.
Snack: Ellie’s birthday snack…organic yogurt squeezes and Annie’s Bunny Grahams
Wee Sprouts: radishes & green beans
Good Afternoon!
Since it was such a beautiful day, we tried to get as much outside time as possible!
Naia was a big help this morning. She helped the older kids shuck the corn that Wee friends had for lunch!
Saskia and Lulu worked up a sweat as they ran around outside.
With all of our friends being up this afternoon, we were all able to go outside!
Sibling love was all around us. Eve said, “I love playing with Maya all day long!” The younger sibling as well as the older sibling are always so excited to see one another outside. Even though they’re not in the same house, they’re able to interact throughout the day 
.
For breakfast, children had eggs with cheese and strawberries. Lunch consisted of tortillas with hummus, PPC plums, and corn. PM snack was string cheese and PPC honeydew melon.
Have a lovely night!
Today’s WONDER-filled observations:
Owen: “This is a birdhouse. This is an ouchie bed. This is a mosquito killer.”
Elliott: “Can you believe what you can do with this sticky paper? Look what I can turn it into.”
Clara: “I’m going to make a sticker kite.”
Eve: “ That’s a lower case v”
Aislinn: “….and that’s a lower case a”
Eren: (When he overheard a friend say “marble box” he began to sing) “Marble box, marble box…in the marble box”
Elizabeth: “Hey! Do you want to play The Magic Fairy?”
Ellie: “Can I be the big sister one?”
Sophie: “ This stick is my wand!”
Emma: (in a soft, tender, lullaby voice) “Rolly pollies!”
Enjoy this beautiful day. –Laurie
Wee Sprouts: Sweet pea pods. Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with cream cheese and PPC plums. Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat tortillas, PPC plums and PPC corn on the cob. Snack: PPC Honeydew Melon and MJ cheese slices.
A BIG welcome back from vacation! Hope everyone enjoyed their time home or on a vacation.
We were all smiles today as friends came in the door. Well ok..maybe not all smiles. It’s hard to leave Mommy and Daddy after spending a whole week with them! We sure do love our parents! As with anything in life, we had to get back into the swing of things.
Friends headed outside this morning. Saskia enjoyed playing in the house while Naia covered her legs with sand.
While our older friends napped, Lucy, Tate, and Maya had playtime in the gross motor area. We loved putting the rings on our head and then taking them off. Tate manipulated the colored blocks, flipping them over on their side to see what else he could do with the block.
With the torrential downpour this afternoon, we stayed inside and got out a few sensory activities. Naia and Saskia worked with birdseed. They both enjoyed getting birdseed into a cup and then pouring it into a bowl. The movement of the birdseed made for nice background noise with the rain!
For breakfast, children had toast with soy butter and banana. Lunch consisted of whole grain noodles with kidney beans, cantaloupe, and peas. PM snack was animal crackers and cheddar block cheese.
Have a lovely night!
Welcome Back!!! We started our morning exploring our “sheets” of paper that we made right before break out of sawdust, water and the blender. Despite following the directions carefully, the paper experiment failed. We all discussed why it “didn’t work” and then moved right into other ways to use our colored sawdust. After some thought, it turned into an paint exploration! 
Over break, Eleanor turned 5 years old! HOORAY, Ellie!
Today is Owen 4th Birthday! He was excited to meet the age milestone of 4 years old to use the workshop tools, real wood and real nails.
It was a busy morning getting caught up on how we spent our summer breaks.
Breakfast was kix, bananas, & milk. Lunch was whole wheat buttered pasta with beans, fresh cantaloupe, and corn. Wee Sprouts were carrots. Snack is bananas and a special treat from Owen, yogurt squeezes.
Have a great day!
Tami
Good Afternoon!
Yesterday, Lulu and Miss Mindy took a walk around the neighborhood. We saw a lot of trees that had fallen! Lulu talked about the rain and the storm that occurred the night before. Today, we saw efforts to clean up the mess that the storm left behind. We’re so glad that none of our neighbors were hurt and that clean up is under way!
While her younger friends took their naps this morning, Lulu worked with sensory rice in the kitchen. She practiced pouring and dumping along with scooping and filling. One of the cups had holes in the bottom. Lulu quickly found out that when she put the rice mixture into the cup, it slowly fell out from the bottom!
When we headed outside, Lulu ran shouting, “Bicycles!”
Maya and Tate played with cars and little people this afternoon. Maya tried her hardest to get her little person into the car seat.
For breakfast, we had cinnamon toast squares and strawberries. Lunch consisted of hummus on tortillas, pears, and broccoli. PM snack was peas and blueberries/grapes.
Hope everyone has a fantastic summer vacation! We’ll see you back here on July 14th 
.
-Mindy
