Good Afternoon!

We had our last farm trip of the spring with all of our big kids! It was a perfect day; breezy and sunny! Our graduating big kids each chose something special they would like to do or see on our last trip. The chosen activities were a visit with chicks, a walk in the woods, a swing on the rope swing and a look into the pond.

We were so proud of Katherine today! On our first trip to the farm she felt too afraid to touch a chicken. On our last trip she asked to hold a chicken herself… three times! She was absolutely at ease and overjoyed!

We ended up with a very special surprise when we happened upon a new fawn hiding next to the fence on our walk back to the Weehicle. Everyone was in awe getting such a close peek at a fawn! The kids were amazing, remembering everything they had been taught about how to behave near an animal! I was so proud! We made it a short peek since we figured Mama would be back soon! We couldn’t have asked for a better day!

Back at Wee Friends, Paige worked hard on building a structure for all of her animals. She had a wide collection of animals such as alligator, giraffe, turtle, and a sheep. She realized that that the compartments needed to be different sizes because the animals were so different in height.

Playdough tray were put out at the art table where children displayed their ever growing imagination. Asher loved the “steam roller” as he used it to flatten the playdough. Paige identified shapes she was using and shared that she was making shape pancakes! Arthur used the garlic press to make spaghetti noodles while Amelia used a shape presser to make shape prints in the playdough.
