Good Afternoon!

**Just a reminder: Wee Friends will be closed Thursday, July 2nd through Friday, July 10th.

Charlotte and Wilbur made their way to the fair in chapter 17. We are getting toward the end of the book and friends who have seen the movie are anxious to find out if the story ends the same way.

As we read chapter 17 in K/PREK1, we found out that once Avery and Fern got to the fair, their father gave them coins to spend throughout the day BUT they were given different amounts of coins. After we finished the chapter, we wrote out the coins that each child got to see who got the most. Surprise, surprise! They each got the same amount of money, just in different coins.

Penny noted several things that were different in the book compared to the movie. For instance, in the book, Avery and Fern walked around the fair and got fair food (Cracker Jack’s and a candy apple to be exact) and Penny shared, “That didn’t happen in the movie!”—of course friends inquired about what Cracker Jack’s are so we had to google it .

In PREK2, each child got the chance to write out numbers 1 through 10 before heading to the journal table.

We’ve been learning about rocks and dirt this week and today, children had the opportunity to come to the art table and create their own pet rock using a variety of colorful paints. This was after we read one of our favorite stories, ‘Stick and Stone’.

Shortly before heading outside, a friend got out the unifix cubes which attracted several friends. Soon the table was full and children were either sorting the cubes by color or creating their own pattern!

Breakfast– Kix and fresh pears.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded chicken and cheese, fresh oranges/pears, and fresh peppers.

PM snack– Peanuts and whole wheat crackers.

Wee Sprout– Fresh peppers/cherry tomatoes.

Have a lovely night!
