Good Afternoon!

**Wee Friends will be closed starting Monday, June 24th through Friday, July 5th. We’ll reopen Monday, July 8th.

This morning we started our Metamorphosis journals.  As we picked the colors for our journals a few friends chose to coordinate the color of the journal with the color of the caterpillar or the color that the Monarch butterfly will be!  We tried to be observant and draw what we saw.  Many friends included the milkweed in their drawings and carefully drew the stripes of the caterpillar one at a time.  Our younger friends got imaginative and drew the caterpillar they would like to see 🙂  We all got to practice our kid spelling as we wrote down our observations!

Katherine said she wanted the caterpillar to be rainbow colors, so she chose to draw it how she preferred it to look.  Katherine always likes to put her own positive spin on every situation!  There were aspects of Katherines drawing that were drawn from life however.  She apparently didn’t mind the caterpillar droppings at the bottom of the cage since she chose to include that in her drawing exactly how it appeared!

Outside we worked on some garden chores.  One friend asked about the strange pods forming on the kale plant.  We talked about that they were the seed pods and that they could be eaten.  Several friends tried them.  They were on the tough side so we were surprised that many friends liked eating them!  Dax was especially interested in peeling the pods open so he could see the tiny forming seeds inside.

Breakfast: Kix cereal with bananas

Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, cheddar block cheese, fresh watermelon/banana, and fresh pepper/carrot/cucumber/cherry tomatoes.

PM Snack: Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumber and bell peppers.

Enjoy the rest of the afternoon!
