Good Afternoon!

Teamwork seemed to be the theme throughout the morning. Friends worked with one another to complete puzzles, create with magnatiles, and construct a giant track!

We’ve seen a lot of constructing lately. Whether friends are using magnatiles, Legos, or another set of blocks, children have pushed their boundaries with what they build and how they build.

The use of stencils was quite prominent this morning as friends used stencils to create different kinds of art. This activity allows friends to stretch their fine motor skills as it takes concentration to trace with markers which is what our friends love doing!

Wow! Did we LOVE being able to spend time outside this morning! The fresh air was terrific and perked all of us up!

Our faces were full of pure joy.

We created snow balls..specifically to eat.

A friend even commented, “It’s free food!” (and then proceeded to eat the snow).

We were extremely interested in the icicles we found around the yard. Our interest continued to peak when we found a jumbo icicle! Jackson carried it around the yard showing it off to friends.

Wee Sprouts– cucumbers.

Breakfast– corn chex and grapefruit.

Lunch– homemade avocado chicken salad on whole wheat bread/tortilla, pears, and carrots/snap peas.

PM Snack– Whole grain bagel with cream cheese.

**The weather looks good for the rest of the week so hopefully we’ll have many other chances to go outside . Please make sure that your child has the appropriate garments for the weather here everyday (boots, gloves, hat, snow pants, coat). Thanks!

Have a great night!
