Happy Wednesday!
It was all about cooperative play today here at Wee Friends! The opportunity to divulge into conversations with friends while trying to achieve the same goal was extremely relished this morning.
We used our hands to create, extend our learning, and push our limits. (Notice the new ‘Connect 4’ game! We LOVE it!)
..and a BIG welcome back to Daniel who’s been out of the country for the last two months. We were all so happy to see him!
Breakfast– Oatmeal and plums.
Lunch– Scrambled egg tortillas, oranges/peaches, and cherry tomatoes/carrots.
PM snack– Popcorn and raspberries.

Have a lovely night.

Hello!
***Just a reminder that SBACC is collecting boxes to make busy boxes for the dogs to give them intellectual stimulation while in the kennels!—(cereal, cracker, kleenex, toilet paper rolls, butter boxes, deodorant boxes, and any other small to medium sized cardboard boxes!). Thanks!!
With the summer coming to an end in the next month or so, many of us (teachers included) will go through varying transitions; leaving to go to another school, leaving/saying good to a friend, or saying goodbye to an environment that has been consistent.
“In caring for children, one thing you can be certain of is change. To change means to transition: changing from one state, stage, place, or subject to another.”
A couple interesting articles on this topic—>

Breakfast– Kix and strawberries.
Lunch– Homemade chicken avocado salad on bagels, oranges, and green beans/tomatoes.
PM snack– Pumpkin seeds and whole wheat crackers.
Wee Sprouts– Cucumber.
Have a terrific night!

Welcome back, everyone! We missed our Wee Wees!
We had a new friend start today! We are delighted to welcome Mack and his parents, Mandy and Nathan, to the Wee Friends family!
After being gone for so long, our friends made sure they played with their favorite toys and did all the activities they had missed.
They dug through the dress up basket…
Observed the classroom fish and asked how they’ve been…
Spent quality time in the sandbox…
And reread all our favorite books!
Breakfast was whole wheat toast with butter and cinnamon and apples. Wee sprout was peas. Lunch consisted of whole wheat pasta with black beans, apples, and peas. Afternoon snack was string cheese with pretzels.

Happy Monday!
Hope everyone had a fantastic summer vacation!
We all got back into the swing of things this morning! We welcomed our newest friend, Grady, who fit right in! He walked in and immediately headed for the cars and building materials. A big welcome to his family, Nathan (Dad), Mandy (Mom) and little brother Mack who is next door at Wee Wee Friends!
We were in a creation mode this morning! Friends used various building materials to express their thoughts and ideas.
The creation station (aka art table) was in high demand this morning. This group conversed with one another and used their listening skills to take into account what others were suggesting.
Sloane and Clara asked for the art easel to be open right after breakfast was cleared off the table. Children waited their turn while their friends finished their projects.
In large group, we read a story titled, ‘The Hole in the Dike’. The story centered around a little boy who was raised in Holland. We were told what a ‘dike’ is; a border like structure that surrounds the water so that it doesn’t come onto land. Turns out, there was a hole in the dike! Friends were captivated as they listened to how it was going to get fixed! The question was asked: ‘How would you fix the hole?’ Many differing answers were given but we explained that everyone’s answer was acceptable and plausible.
We are so happy to be back.
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with strawberry preserves and apples.
Lunch– Whole grain noodles with red beans, strawberries/bananas, and yellow peppers.
PM snack– Homemade yogurt-fruit pops.
Wee Sprout– Carrots.
Have a great evening!
