Happy Friday!
Our classroom was buzzing with movement as children became engaged in various activities. Children took turns at the sensory water table where they worked with puff balls and a variety of pouring tools. The puff balls add a different dynamic to the water table because they change form when wet which children find fascinating to work with.
Paige’s imagination was in high gear this morning as she drew a family portrait. But not an ordinary family portrait. She transformed her family members to imaginary characters such as a vampire, witch, skeleton, zombie, and pumpkin. We love an open art table where children can create whatever comes to mind!
Between the new swing and the pole, children were testing and strengthening their gross motor abilities! Friends have loved exploring the new swing as it engages new muscles simply by hanging from it! Children have gotten more comfortable with it throughout the week and continue to challenge themselves!
It has been absolutely gorgeous the last few days so we soaked it up this morning! We got out the balls and the hoop as friends tried to make baskets. This requires a lot of determination and hand eye coordination!
Yesterday, children asked for the street signs when we got the bikes out so we got them out today too! They spread out the signs, making sure that riders were following the street sign rules.
Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh blueberries/banana.
Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat tortilla sandwiches, fresh watermelon, and fresh snap peas/cucumber/broccoli.
PM snack– Pretzels with bananas and block cheddar cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas/cucumber/broccoli.
Have a lovely weekend!
