*Reminder: Wee Friends will be closed on Friday, March 25th in observation of Good Friday. In addition, friends have been asking for another Pajama Day! We will have a special Pajama Day on Thursday, March 24th in honor of Luke’s last day here at Wee Friends. Feel free to send children to school in their PJs!

We have been so excited to spend lots of learning time this week in our outdoor environment. Our traditional outdoor areas, such as the truck track and rock pile, get lots of use, but oftentimes we see children exploring the environment in unique ways.

For instance, a simple cardboard box can become a vehicle, a bed, or even a house!

Today Eren and Jackson used the sidewalk circle in a different way. Together they used various colors of chalk to draw circles all the way around the sidewalk. They repeated this work multiple times!

Our outdoor environment and the natural materials available to children invite wonder and curiosity:

We have also especially enjoyed getting to spend quality time outside with our Wee Wee Friends lately!

Wee Sprouts: Tomatoes. Breakfast: Whole grain oatmeal and fresh pears. Lunch: French toast casserole with whole grain bread and fresh farm eggs, fresh broccoli and apples. Snack: Blue corn chips and refried beans.
