Good afternoon!

Several kids have been enjoying the addition of three dimensional art materials to work with in the art center.  Today we offered a wide variety of “new” recycled materials for kids to explore.  We also offered straws, popsicle sticks, yarn and tape to see what kids would invent with these options.  The activity was open ended so kids could follow their own interests and creativity.  Planning and visualizing three dimensionally engages the brain in ways that lead to complex higher thinking.

Though not quite developmentally ready for this project, younger friends showed interest in what they older kids were doing.  In response, we added a space that did meet their developmental needs and allowed them to explore the materials through painting.

One of our older friends helped to label the stations for older and younger friends by age:)

PREK2:  In group today, we began with some breathwork and yoga to calm our bodies.  We read the story “I am a Rainbow” which labeled different emotions we all experience.  Older friends have been learning about measurement, so we added an age appropriate board for our younger friends.  After group, everyone identified which was the shorter line and which was the longer line, then added their name to the length of their choice.

Breakfast: Kix cereal with fresh strawberries

Lunch: Chicken/avocado on whole wheat bread with fresh bananas/strawberries/pears and fresh snap peas/green peppers

PM Snack: Whole wheat bagels with cream cheese

Wee Sprouts: Fresh bell peppers/cucumbers

Have a great afternoon!
