Happy Monday!
**Wee Friends will be closed on Monday, May 29 for Memorial Day.
Our FAB focus for the week deals with jobs that people have as well as the tools needed to do those jobs. We read, ‘Andrew’s Loose Tooth’ since one of our K/PREK1 friends was heading to the dentist this afternoon! While this story is highly fictional, we did talk about real dentists and what they need to do their job. As children were rolling up their mats, they had to say aloud one job and a one tool that worker needs. A few jobs that were shared were: painter (who needs paint), dentist (who needs toothbrushes), army (who needs weapons), plumber (who needs a wrench), and mechanic (who needs a hammer).
Social Studies: K.4.2 Identify and describe different kinds of jobs that people do and the tools they use.
We have all been enjoying the out door space at Wee friends! Our outdoor art center has been very popular allowing both Wee friends and Wee wees to create art together. This is something new for them as part of the change of seasons that they have enjoyed!
Rowan found a little pet rolly- polly today! She made a habitat for her pill bug in the lid of a jar using a wood chip, a pebble and some grass. She put her bug inside and was amazed to he exclaimed out loud “how did he get out?” finding him on the outside of the lid. We talked about how many members of the arthropod group can climb vertically in ways we could never because of their very small size as well as hooks or barbs on their feet allowing them to hang to seemly smooth surfaces.
The first seeds we planted this season have begun to come up in the garden! Hopefully we will begin enjoying fresh snap peas as summer begins!
We hope you have a terrific rest of your day!
