Good Afternoon!

**The entire Wee Friends teaching staff is attending a professional development event in Granger next Monday, April 16th. We kindly ask that on this day, children are picked up at 5:30 at the latest so that closing teachers can arrive to the event on time. Thank you for your cooperation!

In pre-k/k group, we read ‘Tops and Bottoms’. In the story, we learned about several different vegetables that are grown in two different ways: on the top of the earth and under it. A few children shared personal experiences about growing vegetables in a garden at home. After we read the story, we talked about what we had learned about vegetables and filled in the ‘top’ category and the ‘bottom’ category. We also filled in a few more facts about animals and plants on our diagram from yesterday.

Science: K.4.1 Give examples of plants and animals.

At the art table, flowers were drawn and dissected this morning. We used markers to draw our flower and after, we took tweezers to dissect different flowers from a bouquet. A few children noted the different parts of the flower that they recognized.

We got some much needed fresh air in the morning AND afternoon! Children thrive outside as they explore, climb, and navigate throughout the outside environment.

Breakfast– Kix and PPC blueberries.

Lunch– Refried beans and shredded cheese on whole wheat tortillas, fresh apples, and fresh carrots.

PM snack– String cheese and PPC pears.

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots.

Have a wonderful evening.
