Good Afternoon!

Outside today, we offered a leaf collage art activity for older friends.  We found ways to arrange natural materials on our paper.  Friends added flowers, leaves, sticks and grass.  One friend even added a cicada skin found on a bush.

Younger friends worked on a large collaborative outdoor painting activity.

One friend was curious about the sticky milkweed sap, wondering if it would work as glue.  Of course we tried it.  We found it did not work as well as regular glue mostly because we couldn’t get enough of it out of the plant.  We always encourage kids to try their ideas when ever possible.  We believe it’s important for them to follow their curiosity.  That is what teaches kids HOW to learn.

Inside we created an obstacle course for friends to move their bodies in different ways and work on balance.  Our younger friends also worked on the new skill of keeping a place in line as they followed the course.  Older friends worked on their counting skills as they counted their trampoline jumps.

Breakfast– Puffins cereal with fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Melted shredded cheese on whole wheat tortillas, fresh nectarines/grapes/oranges, and fresh cucumber/cherry tomatoes/carrots.

PM Snack– Whole wheat bagel with peanut butter.

Have a wonderful night!
