Good Afternoon!

**Reminder: Wee Friends is closed Monday, May 25th for Memorial Day.

We tried out some new drip painting techniques in the art center this morning.  We first added paint to our paper with squeeze bottles.  Next, we used a shish kebab stick to pull through the paint creating interesting patterns.  Kids spent a lot of time on this project.  We only got through a few kids all morning.  We believe in allowing kids to continue projects until they have fully explored the possibilities in depth and detail until they feel finished.  This kind of space to learn lets kids try things, think about what they see, learn through trial and error, ask questions, answer questions and experiment.  The learning experience is much deeper and more meaningful this way.

Outside, we thought it was the perfect day to try out our new water pump.  This group has been particularly interested in water systems and how they work.  We thought a pump could lead to more experimenting and learning thorough water movement play.

Breakfast: English muffins with butter and fresh black berries/honey dew melon.

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with black beans/chicken, fresh watermelon/strawberries and fresh green beans/cucumbers/cherry tomatoes.

PM Snack: Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh green beans/cucumbers.

Have a lovely day!
