Good Afternoon!

Tonight, Wee Friends is involved in ‘Celebrating the Professional’, previously known the Progressive Dinner. Early childhood professionals and community leaders will be touring three businesses including El Campito, Hope4Kids, and Wee Friends!

I’ve attached a flyer that we’ll hand out to our guests who tour, explaining what Wee Friends is all about. We’re excited for this opportunity and are looking forward to sharing the Wee Way!

In large group today, we continued on our animal theme by discussing animals that live on the farm. After reading a book focused on the farm, friends came up with a list of animals that they learned about. Plus, we have background knowledge thanks to our farm trips!

K.4.1: Give examples of plants and animals.

We gathered in the garden where each friend got a clay pot to plant grass seed!

First, we put potting soil into the pot before adding grass seed to it. We topped it off with a little more potting soil before watering it.

We placed the pots into the aquarium in the science area so that we can observe them daily. The consensus is that the grass will grow in approximately five days. We’ll have to see if we were close in our estimation!

We had moth cocoons in the aquarium before placing the pots in there. So, we cleaned it out and explored the moth cocoons that were still present. Lucy found a moth that didn’t quite mature enough and passed it around to her peers.

We continued to enjoy our new bouncy balls in the backyard environment. There are smaller balls and larger balls to throw and kick!
