Hello and Happy Friday!

“Time spent playing with children is never wasted.” ~Dawn Lantero

Thank you Ben and Jack for the yummy fresh doughnut peaches and blueberries….We loved them.

Today we give a very bittersweet goodbye to our friend Mack! Monday, Mack will now be in the preschool classroom learning all kinds of new and wonderful things. He will rock it out and move mountains in his new classroom. We will miss Mack and his bubbling personality, and all of his silliness!!! He brought a lot of excitement and joy to the WWF classroom over the last couple of years.

The “teacher books” were requested this morning by a couple of friends. I didn’t know at the time of the request that our early literacy time would turn out to be such a wonderful extended learning experience. We read and learned about our numbers, colors, the difference between big and small, as well as day and night.

“Studies show that reading with your child from an early age promotes not only language development but emotional awareness and quantitative skills.”

According to CBC (Children’s Book Council), here a a few concrete benefits of early literacy.

~  Vocabulary Building

~ Brain Development

~ Academic Success

~ Multi-sensory Development

~ Increased Quantitative Reasoning

~ Emotional Awareness.

Breakfast: Whole grain English muffins with butter and cinnamon with banana.

Lunch: Whole grain English muffin pizza with marinara and shredded mozzarella cheese, carrots, and fresh doughnut peaches.

Snack: Whole grain cheese crackers, and fresh blueberries.

Have a fantastic weekend! See you all on Monday.
