Good Afternoon!
**Wee Friends will be closed Monday, May 30 for Memorial Day. Thank you!
Daniel was looking for something to do at the circle table this morning and he found a matching game which are his favorite! Soon, several friends were standing around watching him and then eventually, helping him find matches. The matches were rhyming words. For example, flag and bag went together. At the end, they had found all of the matches!
We went outside and were surprised to see several new additions to our backyard space!
The first new addition is a hoop for our new balls! Children took turns trying to throw the ball into the hoop. We saw some friends go right up to the hoop and place it in as well as friends taking a few steps back to challenge themselves as they tried to make a basket. There are so many different extensions to add into this hoop activity (addition and subtraction for example!)—we can’t wait!
When we started using the new blocks a few weeks ago, we were trying to figure out how to do the blocks and bikes at the same time given the space that we have.
Enter: new signs! Miss Tami also purchased new ‘street’ signs for us to use when children are needing to control their bodies in a space.
Children were thrilled to help out! They took the sign bases into the sandbox so fill with sand so that they wouldn’t fall over in the wind. Once the bases were sturdy enough, we attached a sign to the top and placed it on the concrete circle.
