Happy May!
**Please look in your child’s bathroom cubbie to make sure they have clothes that are appropriate for the season! We have a lot of long pants and sweatshirts that should go home to make room for spring/summer clothing.
**Also, if you have not brought in sunscreen (NO SPRAY PLEASE) yet this season, check with a teacher to make sure that your child has sunscreen here.
-If you want your child to just have their own sunscreen, please let the teachers know. Otherwise, we will start a collection of sunscreen to use on all children. Thanks!

Seven of our friends started swim class at the Y today! We started out the class working with bubbles for friends who needed them along with noodles. Friends focused on kicking their feet and moving their arms as they swam. Eventually, we swam down to the deep end where children either chose to jump off the side of the pool, jump off of the diving block, or just gently falling into the pool from the sitting position. A few friends shared their favorite activity from our swimming session:
“My favorite was going to the deep end and free time at the end!”
“I liked driving in the weehicle and playing at the end.”
“When we were playing at the end, Miss Leslie and I were squirting each other with water!”
Our Y swim classes allow children to become comfortable in the water as well as gain confidence week by week! We’re excited for next weeks session.

Back at Wee Friends:
A few children came up to the island to work with pegs. Lucy chose to have the pegs occupy the outside of the board with specific colors while Franklin chose to fill in his board with an array of colors! Most friends who explored this activity used their index finger to count to a certain number.
It was a gorgeous morning that we took full advantage of! The bikes (of course) were used all morning long. We go around the circle who knows how many times! Our hand eye coordination is improving as well as the muscles used for gross motor play.
Our outside time is priceless.
Breakfast- Kix and PPC blueberries.
Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat tortillas, PPC pears, and PPC cherry tomatoes/fresh carrots.
PM snack– Cinnamon raisin bagel with butter and block cheddar cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/PPC cherry tomatoes.
Have a lovely night! Enjoy the weather!
