Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.
“The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences. ~Maria Montessori
We all love our quiet spaces and sometimes our friends just need some alone time. Evie took full advantage of the cube area this morning with her good friend Bear and a few other stuffed animals to get just that!
According to the website www.howwelearn.com, quiet time can help in these areas:
1. Increases focus and attention
2. Rests little minds, allowing a time for quiet and avoiding periods of overwhelm
3. Mindfulness
4.Builds confidence
5. Builds independence and lastly
6. Increases creativity
Meanwhile, Jack and Daniel were cooking up good things to eat and feeding the babies in the dramatic play center. We are never hungry here in the Wee Wee classroom. 
Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with butter and oranges.
Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with butter and shredded chicken, peas, and apples.
Snack: Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.
Wee Sprouts: Corn.
Have a great night!
Marty
