**We did have a friend go home sick today (fever, vomit). After going to the doctor, it was determined that this friend has strep throat .  Good vibes to our sick friend and just a heads up to parents.

We started our day by welcoming Finn back to our classroom. He’s going to be visiting for the next week.

Between building structures with blocks and experimenting with paper macha, friends were quite involved most of the morning in one thing or another. Our paper macha project will continue throughout the week. The final product will be featured on Friday .

Friends who are involved in large group worked on their journals today. It was a free ‘picture’ for all!

We kicked the day out of the park.

For breakfast, children had cornflakes and PPC green grapes. Lunch consisted of turkey and cream cheese on tortillas, plums(that we picked today!)/banana, and freshly picked tomatoes/peppers. PM snack was whole wheat bagels with peanut butter.

Hope everyone has a great night!

Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a terrific weekend.

Friends gathered around the art table as markers and paper were made available upon request. We focused intently on our vision and what we wanted our finished product to look like. Each child’s process to get to the end was different.

Strawberry muffins were whipped up in housekeeping. A friend said, “These are strawberry muffins. We are baking them in the oven.”

Once friends got outside, a few children decided to run off some energy. They did several laps around the circle. Friends ventured into the grass and played follow the leader. One friend started jumping so everyone started jumping!

It was the morning of Wee Friends creatures! A yellow caterpillar was found! Friends made a habitat for it and walked it around the yard making sure to show every single friend.

Someone shouted, “Look! There’s a blue butterfly!” A group followed the blue butterfly around the yard until it eventually flew out of the yard.

The teeter totter was a popular activity this morning! The dilemma: enjoy the teeter by yourself or ask a friend to join!?

For breakfast, children had whole wheat berry muffins and fresh apples. Lunch consisted of whole wheat pasta with chicken, oranges, and carrots/cucumbers. PM snack was organic whole milk yogurt with pears/banana. Wee sprouts for the day was green beans/carrots.

Have a great evening.

This morning started off with a plethora of puzzles! Friends worked with a variety of wood, foam and magnet puzzles, displaying persistence until they found exactly where the pieces fit.

Later, the sand sensory bin was a popular choice, with friends mixing, pouring and measuring the sand. Today’s sand creation of choice was making “cinnamon!”

Friends contemplated putting on a dance show with piano music and the new skirts that are in housekeeping:

Outside, friends developed a game with the playground balls:

Others started burying objects for a “treasure hunt”:
