Good Afternoon!

For the last two days, James has been interested in nonfiction stories in the science area. Yesterday, we looked at a dinosaur book and today called for firetrucks! His interest drew in a few friends and they got nonfiction books of their own. If a picture peaked James’ interest, he would ask for me to read the description.

A sensory activity was made available for children before we headed outside. Miss Kim made goop with a few of our older boys. They worked their hands through it, describing how it felt and how it changed consistency depending on how they moved it around.

Considering that it’s August 9th, we were so unbelievably thankful for the weather today! It called for all toys on deck: balls with the basketball net, bikes, and babies!

Daniel and James worked together to make a truck city. They took wooden boards and made roads that were high up by placing them on green buckets.

Several friends worked on their aim as they practiced making baskets. Children stood at different angels and various distances from the hoop. A few of the older boys even created two teams to go against each other.

Breakfast– Corn Chex and fresh pears.

Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, fresh pineapple, and fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden/carrots.

PM snack– Whole wheat bagels with butter and string cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/carrots.

Have a lovely night!
