Good Afternoon!

There was an activity that was made available at the table this morning when our Wee Friends arrived!

We worked with looms and ties. This activity allowed for differing developmental levels to participate! For our little friends, they worked on securing the ties anywhere on the loom along with working on their fine motor skills. Our older friends took the ties and stringed them in a specific way. Each child had a clear cut objective and end result that they were striving for!

We received a new set of toys that we introduced today: a LOT of tiny chairs. We brainstormed how to use them and we’ve come up with a few things so far. The most popular idea is using them with the little people. “Of course the little people need chairs too,” said a Wee Friend!

Dominos were requested this morning that led to lessons on spatial recognition as well as talking about numbers.

Maddie took the dominos and stood them up on the table. She quickly found out that the dominos were very fragile so she talked to herself about how she was going to space the dominos to build a house. Self talk and problem solving at its finest!

She later took the dominos and started pairing them up using the numbers that were shown on the domino. If she had a domino that had ‘2’ dots, she found another one with ‘2’ dots and put them together. Peers later joined to work on their 1-1 correspondence by counting the dots on each domino.

Wee Sprouts– Cherry tomatoes.

Breakfast-Kix and strawberries.

Lunch– Hummus on tortillas, peppers/snap peas, and apples/banana.

PM Snack– English muffins with cream cheese.

Have a terrific afternoon!
