Good afternoon.

OLDER SIBLINGS IN OUR ENVIRONMENT

We have a very large number of our Wee Frienders with older siblings who are present at drop off and pick up times.  Because transition times are especially important times to keep our routines in place, we ask:

· Please do not allow your sibling children to play in the indoor or outdoor classroom environment. It is disruptive to our routines and stressful for our teachers to try and guide children who are not part of their classroom.

· Please keep siblings with you at ALL times. Alternatively, some families choose to ask siblings to wait on the front porch bench at WF and the small chairs at WWF.

If you would like to leave older siblings in the car for a quick and smooth transition, our teachers are always willing to get your Wee Friender ready at the door so that you have eyes on your vehicle the entire time.  Just let them know via text your arrival time

***Here are some important dates to add to your calendar!

Today was a fun and pretty busy day for our Wee Wee Friends. We engaged our minds and bodies in many activities that kept us busy on this rainy day.

Miss Tami bought our classroom a large pumpkin. Now, this pumpkin is not just to look at for the upcoming Halloween and Thanksgiving season, ohhh no….we had much better plans with it!!

Teachers gave our friends golf tees and playdoh hammers to pound the tee’s into the pumpkin. We were able to enhance our fine motor, hand-eye coordination, and color recognition skills with this exciting activity! Some friends even located the pre-existing holes from other friend’s pounding and worked at placing a tee of their own into that hole.

We also worked on puzzles today. These particular puzzles are a little more challenging for some of our friend’s. However, there’s no better way to get those cognitive gears moving,  than a more difficult task.

Daniel and his friend Jack did a fantastic job manipulating the pieces to get them into their correct spots. Way to go Guys!!!

Breakfast: Whole grain Kix and banana.

Lunch: Scrambled eggs with mozzarella cheese, buttered English muffins, mixed veggies, and PPC pears.

Snack: Whole grain brown rice cakes with peanut butter.

Have a nice night!
