For the last two Wednesdays, the WF/WFF staff has been attending a professional development sponsored by the Early Childhood Association in Fort Wayne. The sessions focus on Positive Discipline for all ages. Among the many great ideas that have been shared is the reminder that sitting with our Wee Friends, listening and guiding their explorations is key to cultivating a true love of learning.

One of these moments began yesterday with a spark of an idea when two friends experimented with the translucent and colored clipboards. Jessica watched friends explore these colors through the sun’s rays  pouring through the window. Today she invited friends to further explore color combinations by teaching them about a color wheel using primary colors.

Later, in support of Literacy FABS K.1.20: (Identify and sort common words in basic categories) and K.7.3: (Describe people, places, things, locations and actions) friends gathered around the table and listened to clues about objects hidden away in Jessica’s hand!

And Hazel lost her first tooth!

Lots of great conversations made up our Wee morning.

Have a great day!
