Hello! This morning some friends decided to make their own kites. Complete with detailed designs made with markers and foam pieces plus hand-made tails, these kites and their kite-makers were begging to fly.

So… let’s go outside and see if the kites fly!

But, take a break when your kites get tangled.

Then try again!

The sandbox was THE place to be today at Wee Friends. At one point in time, almost every single friend was in the sandbox! The sand provides a wonderful medium for open-ended sensory play. Friends utilize the sand in many different ways: building sand castles, making food, digging holes, covering themselves in sand (ever heard of a “sand angel”?!), burying objects and so much more.

Kindergarten: Today the kindergarteners continued their work on FAB K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects. Working together, Elliott and Elizabeth created a variety of geometric shapes, noticing how many sides each shape had and discussing whether the sides were all equal or different (e.g. square vs. rectangle).

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers. Breakfast: Whole Grain Cheerios and bananas. Lunch: Whole grain brown rice with black beans, fresh tomatoes/cucumbers and watermelon. Snack: Peanut butter and wheat crackers.

Have a wonderful afternoon. –Jessica
