Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a terrific weekend!

Our Monday morning started with friends heading to the gross motor area. Lately it’s been a big problem solving area. Whether it’s friends getting up on the habitrail and figuring out how to get down or wanting a toy that another friend has, friends are learning how to work through their problems using language and their actions.

Once we got outside, all five of our friends who were outside headed right to the sandbox! David has been experimenting with cause and effect. He’s been using the shovel and pouring sand on his body (he gets a BIG laugh out of it).

We heard a loud bird outside. Anna quickly stood up and started talking back to the bird. She was quite enthusiastic about it!

There were all sorts of leaves falling down from our tree! Friends sat and worked with the trucks and little people as well as putting leaves into the trucks.

Franklin loved the sensory experience he got from feeling the leaves. Between the leaves, sand, and grass, it’s a sensorial experience outside! Anna grabbed a broom and pitched in to rake up the leaves!

Breakfast-whole wheat toast with butter and pears. Lunch-whole grain noodles with marinara and shredded cheese, mixed vegetables, and pears. PM snack-cream cheese and whole grain crackers.

Have a great night!
