Good afternoon!
This morning we engaged in drumming! We began with our hands, then Rowan brought some animals over and put them inside the drum. A couple other friends followed suit, and even used their animals for drumming!
We also played with balls, asking Miss Audrey to throw them and bringing them back to her. Rowan joined in briefly, then decided to drive trucks down a ramp!
Then we did puzzles in the kitchen! We spent some time trading puzzles with friends and asking Miss Audrey to switch puzzles from the shelves.

Good Afternoon!
Children in PREK1 group came to the sign in board where we continued working with coins! They reached their hand into a bowl and pulled out one coin. We looked at the physical characteristics of the coin and they worked at identifying which group their coin belonged to. They taped their coin into the correct group and then we named the coin as well as the value it represented.
We enjoyed another day of puzzling and building as the class interest has continued today. In order to build on that interest we brought out some new foam puzzles to add more variety and some different options for difficulty level. Since so many kids are interested in puzzles right now, we needed a lot of variety so everyone could find something that met their own developmental level.
Breakfast– Puffins cereal with fresh clementines.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh banana/apple/pear, and fresh cherry tomatoes/pepper/carrot/cucumber.
PM snack– Whole wheat crackers with hummus and seed mixture.

Good Afternoon!
Our PREK1 sign in focused not only on coins but continuing patterns. Children came to the sign in board where they identified an AABAAB pattern using pennies and quarters. They wrote their name under what coin came next in the pattern.
There has been a lot of puzzle interest in our classroom lately. Several kids have been wanting to challenge themselves with more difficult puzzles. Puzzles are a wonderful activity for the brain and body. They help to build fine motor skills, problem solving skills, memory and spatial awareness. Puzzles help kids lengthen attention span and build focused attention. Kids are required to practice patience as they work, then build self esteem as they enjoy the fruits of their labor. We are happy to see this interest growing in our kids!
Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Good Afternoon!
Our kids were so interested in maps and globes last week that Miss Tami looked to add new additions to our classroom to feed off of that interest. We have two new floor puzzles for our classroom! We’ve been exploring the floor puzzles the last few days. One of the puzzles is of our country while the other floor puzzle is our world! It’s been a great authentic opportunity for kids to work collectively together as well as problem solve.
The light table was switched out to the blue circles and our white tree! Children spent the morning placing the blue circles onto the branches on the tree—a great fine motor activity!

**Reminder: Wee Friends will be closed Monday, December 22nd through Friday, January 2nd. We’ll reopen on Monday, January 5th.
We kicked off our week in PREK1 group by starting to talk about coins, the names of the coins, and their values. Today, we focused on the penny, what it looks like, and how much it’s worth. Children identified the penny and wrote their name under the name. Throughout the week, we will authentically plug in coins in our play and child driven curriculum to start children thinking about coins, why we use them, and eventually the names and values!
This morning we explored counting, coins and their values during an imaginative play experience at the round table. We looked carefully at each coin and learned the names of quarters, dimes, pennies and nickels. Older kids learned about the value as well. Afterwards, kids pretended to buy or sell fruit using their counting skills to count out fruit or coins. We try to create imaginative play experiences around new skills because this is the best way for kids to have a meaningful learning experience.
PREK2: During group, we talked about giving gifts during the holidays. We talked about ways we could share gifts we could create on our own or with a little help, like making cards, artwork or baking cookies. On the board, decided who we would like to give a gift to.
Breakfast: Whole wheat bagels with butter and cinnamon along with fresh pears.
Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce, fresh cantaloupe/pears, and fresh cucumbers/peppers.
PM Snack: Whole milk yogurt with banana.
