Good Afternoon!

This morning, a group of friends became interested in making a very long chain using connecting counters.  We challenged the kids to make it as long as they could.  Then we could measure it and see how long it was.  The kids wanted to see if they could make the chain as long as the whole classroom.  They were able to accomplish this working as a team.  To measure, we used a three foot measuring tape.  The kids made tally marks to keep track of how many three foot measurements we made before we got to the end.  They counted a total of 11 measurements.  Next, the kids learned that we would need to add up 11 three foot measurements to find out how long the chain was.  We made an equation 3×11=33, so we found out the chain was 33 feet long.  This was a great opportunity to teach measurement and multiplication naturally in a child driven way.. 

Kids explored a squeeze bottle art activity in the art center.  Some kids made patterns, others made intergalactic aliens.  Every creative idea was welcome!

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Happy Wednesday!

This morning the friends requested the object permanence boxes and sound sensory tubes.  They were busy putting their ball or coin into the hole or slot and watching it reappear in the drawer or tray.  They flipped the sensory tubes back and forth to hear the different sounds of the objects inside.

We then headed into the kitchen to engage with the pegs and pegboards.  The younger friends explored the pegs and worked at placing a peg in a hole and the older friends built tall peg towers.

We then headed outside to ride bikes, water flower and garden plants, engage in a tuff tray with seashells in water, toss the pea gravel into a bucket and engage in the sandbox.

Breakfast:  Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon sugar mixture and fresh pear.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs with shredded mozzarella cheese, homemade oatmeal apple banana muffins, fresh banana and cooked broccoli .

Afternoon Snack: Hummus and whole grain wheat flatbread.

Wee Sprout:  Mini sweet peppers.

Have a wonderful evening!

Happy Monday!

**Reminder: Wee Friends is closed Monday, September 7 for Labor Day.

A few different sensory activities were available this morning. Friends quickly asked for the sensory bin to be open after breakfast. Children used various measuring cups to pack kinetic sand into the cups and make towers.

A younger child asked for water in the tuff tray so we got out the tuff tray, filled it with water, and a variety of sorting materials. Children utilized the sorting trays by placing gems into the compartments.

Outside, children were eager to water the garden and use the water pumps placed throughout the backyard. We got a hefty green bean harvest that we enjoyed later on in the afternoon.

“Children see magic because they look for it.”

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with black beans and chicken, fresh banana/pear/nectarine, and fresh cherry tomatoes/cucumber/pepper.

Good Afternoon!

This morning a friend came into class with an idea for a very large art project.  At breakfast, she asked if she could have a long piece of paper that was so big she would have to work on it on the floor.  She shared that she planned to make a dragon!  As she got to work directly after breakfast, other kids became interested in making large drawings.  They all had their own unique spin.  One friend, who had to wait for a spot, had the great idea to make a plan for his drawing while he was waiting.  That way he would be ready when a spot opened.  We talked about how artists often make sketches before they make a large art piece.  Another friend wanted to make his way through everyone’s projects and ask if anyone wanted help.  Several kids did.  He said that the projects were very big and it would go faster if he was helping.  What a great way to spend time helping others.    

We also enjoyed water play with seashells.  A friend noticed that the inside of some of the shells looked like a pearl.  This opened a conversation about mollusks (which we learned are animals like snails, clams and oysters) and how they filter feed in the mud.   While they filter, they collect minerals which they deposit on the inside of the shell.  We learned that this coating is what pearls are made of.  Some friends also noticed holes in some of the shells so we got to talk about predatory snails which drill holes in the shells of other sea creatures.  Kids were quite interested in this spontaneous life science lesson and spent a great deal of time inspecting every shell to see which ones had the pearly coating still inside. 

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!
