Good Afternoon!

We want to send a big birthday shout out to Owen! He turned the big ‘5’ today! Happy birthday, Owen!

In the habitrail this morning, a little plotting was going on. Owen and Elliott stood and surveyed the gross motor area. A conversation took place as to what to build with the wooden blocks. After they talked about it, their plan was put into action!

Friends were invited to the table this morning to create origami. First, children followed a ten step process to create a candy bowl. Following that, water bombs were made. It was a strenuous process that allowed for friends to follow specific directions in hopes of creating a certain object. A few friends who enjoyed the activity looked through the origami book to plot their next creation.

The art easel was a big hit today as children took turns using different colors of paint. It’s wonderful when we can bring our indoor activities, outdoors!

A group gathered near the garage where plums were dissected. In the backyard, there is a big plum tree. Plums randomly fall and friends took the opportunity to use this as a learning experience. Children took pieces of wood to break open the plums. In the middle, we found a seed! Many seeds were collected and friends were quite diligent in this effort.

 

Wee Sprouts: Breakfast: Kashi’s wheat squares and strawberries. Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, fresh yellow wax beans, and ppc watermelon. Snack: Owen’s birthday snack (trail mix) and pears. 

Have a terrific night!
