Happy Friday!

**Reminder: Wee Friends is closed Monday, September 5th for Labor Day.

Our two kindergarteners used clothespins to clip the number of syllables for each clip card. For example, there was a picture of an elephant. Bo used the clapping method to come to the conclusion that the word elephant has three syllables in it so he clipped the number 3.

K.RF.3.2: Orally segment words into syllables.

We continued this activity into K/PREK1 and introduced it to Rowan, Millie, and James. Each child chose two cards to do and with the help of their peers, were able to clip the correct number of syllables!

As we head into fall in the next couple of weeks, Rowan and James talked about what theme they wanted to introduce into the housekeeping area. They thought about farms and an apple orchard so they both grabbed clip boards and drew diagrams on what they wanted to add into the housekeeping space.

Miss Tami brought in foam footballs for us to use so this morning, three buckets were placed outside at various distances. Children took four footballs and tried to throw the footballs into the buckets! It required quite a lot of concentration and focus!

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

Lunch– Turkey or ham on whole wheat tortilla, fresh cantaloupe/banana, and fresh cucumber.

PM snack– Block cheese with cantaloupe or banana.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
