We want to wish all of our amazing current and past Wee Friends dads a wonderful Happy Father’s Day!

The circle table was everchanging today as children explored a variety of activities. To start, friends dove into the welcome activity which was made up of white tiles along with small and large colorful puff balls. Children used these materials in various ways such as making patterns using the puff balls. One of our three year old’s used the puff balls as ice cream and the white tiles served as marshmallows!

Franklin and Mack used the Montessori beads to make a tower. They moved the squares in different places on their tower to see which order proved to be the most stable.

Daniel got out the block pattern puzzle. He chose a pattern to do and towards the end, he didn’t even need to look at the pattern card.

We went outside later on in the morning and within a few minutes of being outside, a group of kindergarteners found a mantis! They searched the back yard and found another one!

This heightened interest in new and exciting bugs sent friends on a hurried search throughout the backyard to see if they could find anything else.

Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat tortilla, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh peppers/carrots/snap peas.

PM snack– Homemade trail mix.

Wee Sprout– Fresh pepper/snap peas.

Have a wonderful weekend!
