Happy Friday!
Lucy turned FIVE today! These last four and a half years, we’ve been lucky enough to watch her personality grow, her independence come alive, and her flourish in this environment. We’re so excited to see what’s to come in the next year of your life! We love you!

EXPLORATION.
We spent our Friday morning exploring the neighborhood. We gathered up our friends and headed out with our clip boards and colored pencils. Our eyes were looking for any animals, flowers, or trees that we could spot. Once we saw something, we stopped and either wrote down the word or drew a picture to describe what we were seeing.
This week, we’ve been diving into the similarities and differences between plants and animals so on our walk, we discussed what we’ve learned this weekend about both.
Science: K.4.2 Observe plants and animals, describing how they are alike and how they are different.
When we got back to Wee Friends, we stayed outside.
Miss Katie started up an activity with us that involved balloons and a water bottle. In the balloons, there was cornstarch, water, baking soda, and food coloring in each balloon. Each child got to pop a balloon and once they popped it and disposed of the leftover balloon pieces, they grabbed a spray bottle. The spray bottles had vinegar in them which when added to the ingredients that were in the balloon, caused a fizzing reaction!
Breakfast– Corn squares and fresh grapes.
Lunch– Shredded cheese on whole wheat tortilla, turkey/ham slices, PPC banana, and PPC broccoli.
PM snack– Lucy’s birthday treat: yogurt blueberry muffins and string cheese.
Wee Sprout– PPC broccoli/fresh carrots.
Have a fantastic weekend!
