***BLUE BUS SIGN UP HAS BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH THIS WED 1/13/15.

We currently have only 3 children enrolled for this session.  Our minimum class number is 6 children for the Blue Bus to continue to come to Wee Friends.  So, if you are interested, you will need to sign up today or tomorrow.  Otherwise, if not enough families are interested in this extracurricular activity, we will take a break from it and check back in the spring.  The cost is $80 for 8 weeks.  The class is Mondays 9:00-9:30.

The Excitement of New Materials

Tuesday morning started off with a flurry of excitement. New Legos! Friends helped Melinda sort a huge batch of building blocks into various bins. Whether it’s new materials or simply newly rediscovered materials, we are always eager to see what innovative things friends will do.

                                          

Materials used in a new way or in a different setting are also exciting! This morning Laurie led friends through a counting, adding and subtracting activity with dominos and dot painters at the art table.

                                         

A recently discovered tool from the basement are paper punchers. We practiced identifying shapes, threading paper and then pressing down (hard!) to punch. We love collecting our tiny shapes in envelopes to share at home.

 

Just because there are new materials or tools out and about at Wee Friends, it doesn’t mean we forget our primary pastime: playing with and enjoying the company of our friends.

                                                                                       

Hope you have a great day.
