Hello!

**There is suspected case of roseola going through Wee Friends. It has NOT been confirmed by a doctor as it happened last week. It is a normal early childhood illness that starts with a high fever before contracting a rash a few days after the fever breaks. For more information: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/roseola/basics/symptoms/con-20023511

Jackson has been requesting goop for some time now. Today, we made it! Children gathered around the table with buckets. Each friend was given a batch of goop (mixture of water and corn starch).

The different properties of the goop are so interesting for friends! The liquid to solid aspect allows friends to wonder and question throughout the activity.

Almost all of our friends participated. When we have an activity like this going on, all friends are welcome to come participate but not forced.

It was a beautiful morning as the sun was shining. We spent the rest of our morning running throughout the yard, playing hide and seek, and climbing on different climbing structures.

In large group, we focused on the following FAB:

K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in telling the story.

We are going to be doing an author study this week: focusing on five different authors and a variety of their stories! After we read ‘It’s Mine!’ and ‘Fish is Fish’, we talked about the author of these two stories, Leo Lionni. We looked at the words and the pictures on each page and talked about how the illustrations matched with what the author was trying to convey.

Breakfast– Toast with butter and apples.

Lunch– Whole wheat noodles with kidney beans and butter, oranges, and cauliflower.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt and blueberries.

Wee Sprout– Green beans.

Have a lovely night!
