WWF, 5/27/2015

Good Afternoon!

**Since we’re almost in June (already?), which I’m sure will fly by, just a reminder that WWF will have our yearly summer vacation starting Thursday, July 2nd through Friday, July 10th. WWF will reopen Monday, July 13th.

Annabelle started off her day by continuing to master crawling up the slide! After watching a few of her older friends complete the task, she went for it! She enjoyed getting half way up the slide then sliding down on her rear! Friends joined in Smile.

Friends started to put rocks in the buses, airplanes, and fire trucks. This brings into play the concept of ‘loose parts’ play. For those who aren’t familiar, it’s where materials can be moved, carried, combined, and lined up in many different ways. For example; stones, sand, twigs, balls, and buckets. These materials allow for open-ended play. It’s crucial for our budding imaginations to flourish!

Here’s a link to an article I found that describes what ‘loose parts’ are a little bit more in detail as well as giving many examples.

For breakfast, children had cinnamon-raisin bagels with banana. Lunch consisted of egg salad on tortillas, corn, and banana. PM snack was string cheese and blueberries.
