Good Afternoon!

It was quite a hands on Wednesday here at Wee Friends.

We tested our puzzle abilities by challenging ourselves with new puzzles that we’ve never done before. A few friends who normally do the 24 piece wooden puzzles decided to try the 48 piece puzzles. Lucy and Calix teamed up and finished a few by working together.

A group of friends started their morning off by learning how to play the game ‘I Spy’. The game had children using their sight to find various items on their piece of card board. Once they found all of their items, they hit the buzzer (this was their FAVORITE part!).

The art table opened up after breakfast to allow children the opportunity to create! Maddie used several materials to build a bed for her yellow giraffe.

Jackson requested that we investigate volcanoes so Miss Melinda called a couple friends over to the art table to explore this idea more. Using red tubs and glass bottles, we created our own volcanoes! Each child took a spoon and poured a spoonful of baking soda into their glass jar before vinegar was added. Once the vinegar was added, friends anxiously waited to see what would happen. When the liquid started to bubble over the top, friends wanted to see this over and over again!

Just look at our faces .

The sensory table was made available again this morning as friends moved the moon sand throughout the container using various materials such as cups, spoons, and rolling pins.

Large group explored their thoughts and put them on paper. From pools to fairy gardens, our creativity was bursting!

After reading, “Who Pushed Humpty Dumpty?”, which contained various nursery tales, we discussed rules that we follow at home. Earlier in the week, we came up with a list of rules that we follow here at school. So, today we shared rules that our Mommy’s and Daddy’s make us follow at home. We had a hard time choosing just one so many children shared multiple rules that they follow at home. Addi shared that she’s not supposed to work with her daddy’s tools. She looked at her friends and said, “I can’t work with them because they’re for grown ups and they could hurt me!”
