Good Afternoon!

CLOSING Reminder: Wee Friends will be closed Monday, May 29th for Memorial Day. Also, here’s the first reminder for our summer break closing: Wee Friends will be closed Thursday, June 29th through Friday, July 7th. We will reopen Monday, July 10th. Thank you!

This morning, we welcomed Miss Kaylee from IUSB. She’s going to be our student teacher for the next four weeks. Many of our friends took her around the environment, laying the land for her. We’re so anxious to get to know her!

The welcome activity aligned with our FAB for the upcoming week:

Social Studies: K.4.1 Explain that people work to earn money to buy the things they want. Introduce money names and values.

Throughout the week, we’re going to be focusing on money and what it’s used for. In today’s world, MOST (not all) people use plastic to pay for things they want/need. Children will be able to explore real money this week and understand why we need money to buy things.

It’s that time of year! Miss Melinda showed our group how to correctly use the gardening tools as well as how NOT to use them. We learned that the tools are sharp and could hurt us so we had to use them safely and with our peers in mind.

Using shovels, rakes, and a variety of other tools, we started turning the soil and de-weeding the garden to get it in tip top shape before we plant later this week/next week.

Breakfast– Whole wheat bagels with no nut butter and banana.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, banana/pears, and carrots/cauliflower.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with PPC kiwi.

Wee Sprout– Cauliflower.

Have a lovely night!
