Good Afternoon!

This morning we worked on making pegboard shapes with rubber bands.  Older friends found they could make many shapes within shapes.  Arthur found that he had made hexagons, trapezoids, triangles and a square all in one overlapping shape.  Younger friends used their fine motor skills to place the pegs into the board and add rubber bands over the pegs.  We always aim for all developmental needs to be met by our multi-age activities.

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

Breakfast- Puffins cereal with fresh nectarines.

Lunch- Melted shredded cheese on whole wheat flatbread, fresh watermelon, and fresh pepper/cucumber/snap peas.

PM snack- Whole wheat bagel with butter and cinnamon.

Wee Sprout- Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely night.

Good Afternoon!

Today we celebrated a friends 1st birthday.  We enjoyed celebrating with you.  Thank you for the delicious snack.

We also welcomed our new baby,  Rose to the Wee Wee classroom.  We are happy to  have you and your family part of our classroom.  They have been part of the Wee Friends family for several years, and her big brother Albert just left to go to a new school.

This morning, we spent a lot of time in Housekeeping! Friends pretended to eat meals together, and take care of their baby dolls. A couple friends even walked their baby dolls around the classroom while singing, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to them.

Then, Miss Bekah put out some loose parts-wooden shapes and animals for us to explore! A couple of our friends stacked their shapes, while others explored the variety of shapes and animals on their trays.

We had an inside morning due to all the rain we had.  A child brought the shakers and maracas basket down, and began exploring all the different sounds of them.   At some point, almost every friend had shakers and were playing them together around the basket, some friends even switching shakers amongst themselves.

Breakfast:  Quaker oatmeal squares-brown sugar cereal and fresh strawberries.

Lunch: Refried beans and shredded Colby-jack cheese, cucumbers and watermelon

Afternoon Snack:  Whole grain cinnamon raisin bagel with butter, Colby-jack block cheese and organic fruit and veggie pouch (birthday snack)

Wee Sprout:  Mini sweet peppers.

Have a terrific evening!

Good Afternoon!

This morning we engaged with the shape houses.  We worked on identifying the names of the different shapes and Miss Bekah said the name for us if we needed help.  We also worked at putting them in the correct place in the roof of the house.

We then engaged with the musical instruments.  We shook the bells to hear the sounds they made and then tapped the bars of the xylophone with the mallet to hear the sounds and make our own unique music.

We then headed outside and rode together with a friend on the teeter totter, engaged with the dinosaurs and feeling the texture of the sand with our hands, drawing with chalk on the cement and our friend Cece was working on her walking skills today.

Breakfast:  Whole grain wheat bread toasted with peanut butter and bananas.

Lunch:  Whole grain elbow macaroni with black beans, fresh apple and mini sweet bell pepper slices.

Afternoon Snack:  Whole milk yogurt and fresh strawberries.

Wee Sprout:  Cucumbers.

Have a great evening!

Good Afternoon!

Our oldest kids have been on a writing and illustrating streak!  We are seeing at least one new book from each of them every day.  Today we had a book called “Ten Little Blueberries” and one called “The Day the Dogs Came Home”.  Our little writers have been learning about authors and illustrators through this activity.  They have been practicing kid spelling, learning about sentence structure, narrative and bringing to life ideas using creative problem solving and executive planning.  All this learning seamlessly transpires from emergent curriculum. 

During our welcome activity we explored water movement and fine motor development.  We used pipes, funnels, tongs, tweezers and pompoms in our large water tray.  A couple of friends noticed they had some pompoms stuck in the pipes.  It presented the perfect opportunity for some creative problem solving.  The kids were offered a few tools they could use to figure out how to get the pompoms out.  It’s always better to allow kids to solve as many problems themselves as possible.  This helps them build their problem solving skills as well as their self esteem. 

We also exercised fine motor development at the light table as friends hung small rings on the branches of a little tree. 

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

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh watermelon.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with shredded beef, fresh watermelon/strawberries/oranges, and fresh pepper/cucumber.

We then headed into the kitchen to use dot markers to create colorful dot drawings.

Outside, we enjoyed popping and catching bubbles from the bubble machine.  We then engaged in scooping and pouring and splashing in the water play tables and pushing the bikes up the hill.

Breakfast:  Whole grain brown rice cakes with cream cheese and fresh oranges.

Lunch:  Hummus, whole grain wheat bread, banana and fresh carrot chips/cooked carrots.

Good Afternoon,

This morning we explored play dough of all colors.  Friends have really been enjoying play dough this week so we decided to take it to the next level and offer it in imaginative play.  One friend had the idea of using the play dough to decorate the animals as “carousel animals”.  Several other friends joined in the imaginative play and got creative with building their own carousel animal.  It was a great example of older friends teaching younger friends and introducing a more cooperative imaginative play atmosphere to emulate. 

We had another example of older friend leadership in our classroom today.  When a younger friend threw her paper airplane to see if it could fly, she chose to show him how to make one and help him in the process instead of getting upset.  We love to see our older kids developing these great social skills and leadership abilities!

Breakfast: Oatmeal squares with fresh pineapple.

Lunch: Brown rice with turkey, fresh tomatoes/cucumbers and fresh banana/watermelon.

PM Snack: Whole wheat crackers with peanut butter and pumpkin/sunflower seeds.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumber/ carrots.

Have a great day!

Good afternoon!

This morning, our friends played with dress up and the wooden people.

Our friends also enjoyed engaging with playdough in the kitchen. We set out a basket of tools that they were free to select items from. Some friends chose hammers to pound their dough, cookie cutters to press down onto their dough or pattern cutters to glide across their dough.

We then headed outside to enjoy this beautiful weather. Two friends played in the log house and asked “Who wants ice cream?”. We also rode bikes, explored the water table, engaged with baby dolls by holding them in our arms or placing them in the green buckets to walk around with, and used our imaginative play skills in the housekeeping area.

Breakfast: Whole grain Kix cereal with quartered grapes and fresh oranges.

Lunch: Whole grain brown rice with shredded turkey, watermelon slices and cooked broccoli.

Afternoon Snack: Whole grain wheat Ritz crackers with peanut butter, sliced mild cheddar cheese and fresh oranges.

Good Afternoon!

Our friends started their morning by engaging with silk scarves and using them to dance along to “Shake Your Sillies Out.” After everyone was done dancing, a friend then worked on stacking the scarves on top of one another.

We then headed into the kitchen to explore our light table. The table was full of translucent sensory beads that our friends used their hands or plastic egg halves to scoop up the mixture.

We made our way outside to engage with two different water play activities and paint with brushes and watercolors at the easel.

Breakfast:  Whole grain Cheerios and fresh strawberries.

Lunch: Whole grain wheat tortilla with peanut butter, 1/2 cheddar cheese slice, quartered red grapes and cucumber slices.
