Good Afternoon!

**In order to be in compliance with state laws, we need UPDATED SHOT RECORDS for every child. We need updated shot records by Monday, January 8th. Thank you!

**Before our Christmas break starts, please take a minute to clear out your child’s cubbie as well as their art cubbie. We’ll have plastic bags available in a spare cubbie. Thank you!

In our pre-k/k group, we read ‘Bear Stays Up For Christmas’. Throughout the story, children noted rhyming words that they noticed which lead into our activity after we finished the story.

I had five words up on the board and it was our job to match the rhyming words. When we came up on the word ‘down’, Lulu immediately shouted, “frown”. I asked what letter that word would start with and a few friends said, “F!”. Together, we found a word that started with an ‘F’ and matched it to ‘down’.

Our morning was full of various activities going on and children engaging either alone or with peers.

The art area was full of children making cards for people in their lives; mostly mom and dad! Grady interacted with the welcome activity; matching dominos. Chloe challenged herself by completing various 24 piece puzzles. We’re gearing up for Christmas break and making the most of our last days at Wee Friends in 2017!

Miss Kim opened up the island for a baking opportunity. Children helped Miss Kim bake pumpkin muffins that we had later on for afternoon snack. Each friend got the chance to measure or pour something into the mixture.

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with honey and PPC pear.

Lunch– Scrambled eggs with shredded cheese, whole wheat tortilla, PPC banana/pears, and PPC cherry tomatoes/green beans.

PM snack– Homemade pumpkin muffins and block cheese.

Wee Sprout– PPC green beans.

Have a fantastic night!
