WF Wednesday 3/11 Wee Friends Love Underpants!

The title of this post says it all: Wee Friends Love Underpants!

This week, we have been reading Dinosaurs Love Underpants and Aliens Love Underpants by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort [http://www.underpantsbooks.com/]. These delightfully funny stories feature a huge slew of colorful underpants. Friends loved picking out their favorite pairs of briefs while reading the books, so we decided to continue exploring the topic in a different way.

Inspired by the inside covers of the Underpants stories, we got to work designing our own underpants in a variety of shapes: briefs, shorts and bloomers.

Friends created patterns and experimented with shapes; there were rainbow underpants, pirate underpants, heart underpants and many more. Afterward we strung our homemade underpants on a clothesline. Check out our work hanging in the art room!

ANNOUNCEMENT: As temperatures rise and snow melts, our outside time has started to get a little wetter! We ask that families please bring in 3-4 pairs of pants and 3-4 pairs of socks so that friends have some dry clothes to change into.

In addition, we would love any donations of size 3-5T pants (especially sweatpants) socks and underwear to replenish our extra bin. We would appreciate anything you have to offer, no matter how worn. Thank you!

Happy Thursday!

**Reminder: WWF will be closed tomorrow for conferences.

Nahla, Maya, and Rosemary worked with number boards and pegs this morning. We counted out loud as we put a peg into the board. Friends worked on one-on-one counting as well as talking about numbers.

Annabelle is moving everywhere. Anna is definitely showing David and Annabelle the advantages of being mobile!

Anna was ecstatic as she crawled up the stairs, around the habitrail, and down the slide.

It’s amazing to watch these little personalities come out day after day!

Have a terrific weekend!

WF Wednesday 3/4 Getting Some Fresh Air!

Cool winter temperatures have kept us inside for most the past few weeks, so whenever it is warm enough to go outside, we eagerly take the chance for some fresh air.

First, older friends gather a pile with all their outside essentials: hat, mittens, coat, snow pants, and boots.  Once they have everything they need, they get ready themselves.

Teachers help younger friends by gathering their outdoor clothing and assisting when needed. Many friends are becoming more and more independent; Eren has mastered putting on his snow pants by himself!

Once friends are dressed for outside, they sit on the music rug and wait for a teacher to open the door.

Then it’s time to play in the snow!
