Good Afternoon!

We spent a lot of time caring for animals today at the farm!  We helped out with cleaning out the horses, goats and turkey stalls.  We fed the animals as well.  Next we helped move a mother hen and her new baby chicks into their new enclosure.  We were probably most interested as a group in watching an injured house receive wound care and a change of bandages!  We left with every kind of animal poop on our farm boots, but also with rare and unique learning experiences!

Back at Wee Friends, we had a busy morning of various activities including painting at the art easel, playdough, and an engaging music session!

At the playdough trays, children used a variety of tools to manipulate their playdough including plastic scissors and a garlic press. These two were our favorite tools to use!

These two boys had the same shirt on today AND the accordion was their favorite musical instrument! It was quite popular and we did a quality job of taking turns! Children explored musical instruments such as maracas, triangle, and wooden sticks.

The art easel was opened and quickly, a few friends came to set up camp and complete several paintings. There were several different markings that children made on their paper including dots and thin lines. When Paige finished her painting, she pronounced, “It’s my sister; Rowan!”.

Breakfast– Chex and fresh pineapple.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh watermelon, and fresh snap peas/cucumber/green pepper.

PM snack– Whole wheat crackers with peanut butter and a mixture of toppings including sunflower seeds, pepita seeds, and peanuts.

Wee Sprout– Fresh green pepper/snap peas/cucumber.

Have a great night!
