Happy Friday–

**In the past two days, we’ve had a couple of illnesses going around: a case of vomit was reported yesterday and another child went home today with a fever. Hope everyone can rest up this weekend!

It was all about the stories today. As it was cold and snowy outside, we were getting warm and snug inside. We’ve read ‘How The Grinch Stole Christmas’ a couple times within the past two days and children are enjoying the character of The Grinch.

Children took to building to express their imagination and thoughts. Tate and Lucy built a sporting arena that housed different basketball teams, women’s and men’s respectively.

While we were waiting for lunch time to come around, children took that opportunity to get in some puzzle time. The apple pies and birthday cake have been used a lot within the last couple days. Activities like this allow for fine motor skills to be used as well as our imaginations!

Breakfast– Malt-O-Meal and blackberries.

Lunch– Homemade chicken avocado salad on whole wheat bread, banana, and cauliflower.

PM snack– String cheese, pears, and dates.

Wee Sprout– Cherry tomatoes.

Have a safe and warm weekend.
