Good Afternoon!
**Parents: thank you for bringing in sunscreen this week! For those who may have missed the request: If you would like to have sunscreen applied to your child while at Wee Friends, please bring in a bottle (please refrain from spray sunscreen). Again, thank you!
In large group, we read a favorite of ours: Three Cheers for Tacky! We looked at Tacky’s habitat that he lived in and discussed how his habitat is different from ours.
“It’s snowy there all the time!”
“Penguins must like the cold.”
“We don’t have ice like that in South Bend!”
As a group, friends talked about what we can do here that we couldn’t do there! One of the most popular ones was that it’d be hard to ride a bike on ice! (we are obsessed with our bikes outside..in a good way)
Science: K.3.5 Describe and give examples of weather changes and illustrate how weather affects people and the environment.

Our day was off to a great start as children were able to use the paint dotters once they walked in the door. It seemed to be a popular welcome activity!
Jackson noticed how tall our grass was getting so he asked if he could water it. Instead, we cut the grass first before we watered it! Our older friends took their younger friends under their wing and showed them how to cut the grass using scissors from the art area. We’re becoming quite interested in how our grass is doing on a daily basis.
At the art table, we investigated the new present that Miss Hannah got us yesterday! The package included reusable stickers and five habitat pages. The goal was to put the animals in the correct habitat. We talked about all of the animals, especially the ones that interested us! Our older friends did a fabulous job explaining WHY each animal had a specific habitat that they live in.
…”I’ve never seen a dinosaur at the farm!”
Jackson was quite excited that he was able to fit all of his stickers on the habitat page that he had!
Even with a chill in the air, children became occupied outside. Friends headed to the sandbox, played pretend with peers, and used the dump trucks in the gravel rocks. Our outdoor space is perfect for running around, releasing our energy in a positive way!
