Good Afternoon!
The welcome activity this morning was a combination of loose parts that Hannah and Paige used to build their own school!
Paige used her wooden blocks to build desks for the student bears while a group of four parent bears looked on as they left their children at school (very realistic, right?!).
Hannah chose to make wooden desks for her big “Wee Friends” while she also had a group of smaller bears, which she called the Wee Wee’s, learning how to do handstands.
Both used their imaginations in their school setup but it inevitably looked different.
Are you a, “Jump right into the pool” type of person or a “I’m going to dip my toe into the water to see how cold the water is..” type of person?
We had water stations set up for BOTH types of people (or kids in this instance!).
A hose was used to spray water into the air as several kids just ran head first into the stream of water. This occupied them for a LONG time! 
We had two different water stations set up where children could explore.
On the deck, a big bin of water was put out with various piping that flowed the water into a lower bin on the sidewalk. Children loved watching the water move from the top bin to the lower bin simply by adding water into the piping!
Saucers full of water were made available in the sandbox where children used dragons in their play. The water sensory experience quickly turned to a water + sand sensory experience!
Needless to say, there was something for everyone and as Hannah shared just before lunchtime, they were “exhaaaaausted” by the end of our morning.
Breakfast– Puffins cereal with fresh watermelon.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh watermelon/kiwi, and fresh cucumber/pepper.
PM snack– Wheat thin crackers with pepita/sunflower seeds.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.
Have a lovely evening.
