Happy Monday!
**Wee Friends will be closed Thursday, June 28th through Friday, July 6th. We’ll reopen Monday, July 9th.
Our spring swim session has come to an end. This has been one of the best sessions we’ve had in a long time. Our confidence and skill level has increase immensely. Most of our swim friends ended their session by swimming at least 1/4 of the length of the pool starting in the deep end without any assistance! This is HUGE! We also worked on jumping into the pool and going directly into our back float. We are so thankful for Miss Leslie and the Y! We can’t wait for the fall session!
A fine motor activity was made available at the art table this morning. Children took cotton swabs and transferred glue onto paper before attaching various shapes to paper.
When our swim friends returned, we participated in a gross motor activity involving the parachute and small, colorful balls. We all worked together to hold the parachute up and on the count of three, we shook the parachute so that all of the balls went flying! This was done several times before we took the balls out of the equation. Towards the end, friends held onto the parachute and all together, ran underneath the parachute! We loved exploring the parachute and the different ways to use it.
