Good Afternoon and Happy Friday! I hope you all have had a great week.

We had another upcoming friend visit the classroom today to meet her teachers and her new friends. Emily is a sibling of Maggie from the preschool classroom. We look forward to Emily joining in all of the Wee Wee fun.

Adrian was engaging in the trains this morning and thought it was a great idea to make a long train line! As he was magnetizing them together he would say, “Chooo, Chooo.”

Arthur and an older Wee Wee friend were rolling a ball to one another during outside play! How sweet is that!?!?!? Our older friend was sure to be gentle and take her time with Arthur. We absolutely love the friendships made in the classroom…. No matter the age! 

Breakfast: Whole grain brown rice cakes with peanut butter and banana.

Lunch: Whole wheat bread with turkey lunchmeat, mixed veggies and bananas.

Snack:Wole grain cheese crackers with Mozzarella string cheese.

Good Afternoon!

Rowan grabbed a clipboard, paper, and pencil and proceeded to go around the classroom asking the most important question a child can ask at this age: “Would you like to come to my birthday party?”

James cleaned up his toys in housekeeping and asked, “Can I get a clipboard like Rowan?”

They both went around the class asking their peers the infamous question from above. At this age, everything revolves around the ‘birthday party’ (even if it’s ten months away! )

A somewhat simple, child driven interest like this starts out basic but eventually, children start working on tally marks and names of peers.

A short indoor yoga session quickly gained steam and lasted until we went outside!

Franklin lead a pretty intense yoga session outside. He found yoga statues inside and asked if he could take them outside.

He would demonstrate the pose and have friends try it on their own.

Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with fresh oranges.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded pork, fresh cantaloupe/banana, and fresh carrots/cucumber.

PM snack– Air popped popcorn with butter and raisins.

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.

Have a lovely night!

Good Afternoon.

This morning we were interested in reading stories. Friends chose many books from the book shelf and we happily listened. Some stories were stories we could get our bodies moving and act out what the words told us.

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt is one of our all time favorite stories and song. This morning as we were listening to music, Miss Bekah put on this particular song and friends LOVED listening to the words and acting out what they were hearing from the narrator.

Then we were all very excited to go outside for our special water play day! We eagerly got our bathing suits on and headed out for all the fun! We had the sprinkler going so friends could run through and we also had lots of water in the sandbox, which what was the most fun for some.

Breakfast: Whole grain oatmeal with cinnamon and pears.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs, whole wheat butter toast, sweet potatoes and strawberries and banana.

Snack: Whole wheat Ritz crackers with hummus.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumbers.

Have a lovely night.

Good Afternoon!

The second day of the Wee Friends Olympics saw children step out of their comfort zone! The Javelin throw (or Tube Toss as we call it) tested our physical strength and coordination.

Our older friends did a great job at demonstrating how to throw the tube for their younger peers. Miss Kim got out the tape measurer to see how long our throws were and the longest was around 21 feet!

We were able to pull up a few past Olympic videos of the javelin throw and WOW! Friends were very impressed with how far they were able to throw it.

By the end of the morning, we really got our technique down!

Breakfast– Toasted oatmeal squares with fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat flatbread, cheddar sliced cheese, fresh watermelon, and fresh cucumber/pepper/carrot.

PM snack– Whole wheat cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and block cheddar cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely night!

Good Afternoon.

This morning we had a very special visitor that will be starting our classroom within the next couple of weeks. Emma is a sibling of James in the preschool classroom. We can’t wait to have her daily in the environment.

This morning we happily engaged in the pegs and peg boards. This activity enhances our fine motor, hand-eye coordination and color recognition skills as well as being able to identify the shapes of the boards.

During outdoor play, Adrian engaged himself at the chalkboard. He told Miss Bekah he made a tornado. He was using great imagination skills with his drawing. Just what we love to see.

Breakfast: Whole grain Chex cereal with watermelon.

Lunch:Warm whole wheat tortillas with refried beans and shredded cheese, peas and watermelon.

Snack: Whole wheat bagels with cream cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh yellow peppers.

Have a nice night.

Good Afternoon. I hope you all had a great weekend.

PLEASE NOTE: WEDNESDAY WE WILL BE HAVING A WATER PLAY DAY. PLEASE BRINGS SWIM SUITS AND WATER SHOES (IF YOUR CHILD HAS THEM.) THANK YOU.

This morning we had a great time engaging in shaving cream play. This activity enhances our sensory experience and our fine motor skills. Paint brushes, a cookie cutter and tongue depressor were added in to our play.

We then decided to get out our colorful rings and place them on our friend Adrian’s neck. During our play with this activity, we learn to share, take turns and be aware of our friends body space.

Meanwhile, our friend Arthur is happily finding his way in and out of the classroom.

Breakfast: Whole wheat peanut butter toast with fresh banana.

Lunch: Whole wheat Penne noodles with butter and black beans, peas and oranges.
