Good Afternoon!

Anna girl stood up multiple times today by herself! She gets SUPER proud of herself and smiles while clapping quite fiercely .

A little sensory play took place this morning. Friends worked with shaving cream and purple paint. While for some it didn’t last too long, each child put their own twist on the experience!

We had a bunch of smiley babies today!

For breakfast, children had kix and strawberries. Lunch consisted of egg salad on flatbread, broccoli, and banana. PM snack was pretzels and strawberries.

Have a terrific night. Stay warm!

Today has been a busy day! We have been folding and building.

Drawing and puzzling.

 

We also continued our study of vertices [FAB K.4.2]. Yesterday friends found, sorted and glued wooden blocks to cover the surface of their paper. Today, friends painted their wood blocks, counting the number of vertices as they went along. These puzzle-like creations had many vertices to find!

 

 

Happy Wednesday! –Jessica

Good Afternoon!

We worked with baby dolls and dress up clothes this morning. A couple of us are working on putting dress clothes on by ourselves. Self initiation becomes quite evident at this age!

We’ve got a few milestones that are quickly approaching for our babes! Anna is working on standing by herself while Annabelle is scooting especially to toys she wants. David is pushing his arms up while laying on the floor along with working on sitting up.

For breakfast, children had Chex and kiwi. We were all BIG fans of kiwi! Lunch consisted of hummus sandwiches, peas, and blueberries. PM snack was rice cakes with cream cheese.

Have a terrific night.

It’s a big idea and a big mouthful of a word, but we did find vertices around us. Not a vortex, but a vertex. And as it turns out, when you look for a vertex, it’s pretty easy to find. (MATH FAB K.4.2)

Don’t forget to turn in your Pre-Conference Form by this Friday, 2/20! Thank you!  Stay warm and have a great day. –Laurie

Have a fantastic night!

Happy Monday!

Here at Wee Friends our curriculum is driven from both teacher observations and children interest. This was evident today as several friends expressed their interests. Our friend Elizabeth demonstrated  FAB K.7.2 [Share information and ideas, speaking in complete, coherent sentences] as she explained how sinkholes work. After drawing a picture and sharing her information, Elizabeth and friends worked together in the Moon Sand to create their very own sinkhole.

 

 

Another friend, Eleanor, expressed interest in black holes. After a discussion of what she already knew about black holes and questions she had, she and a teacher conducted research on the computer and in our science library. Pictures of black holes were fascinating to many friends! 

Exploring children’s interests together keeps them engaged and loving learning.

Have a great start to your week. -Jessica

Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with butter and oranges. Lunch: Whole wheat cheesy spaghetti, peas and oranges/apples. Snack: Yogurt and pretzels.

Happy Friday!

We were feeling the LOVE today.

By far, our biggest love is literacy.

Our love of gross motor play is always evident.

Our tremendous love of water play (especially washing the baby).

We enjoyed building with blocks. We all LOVE building towers and then knocking them over.

Our growing love for everything animal.

We even found LOVE in our food. Lucy picked up her soy butter on tortilla and “HEART!”

For breakfast, children had kix and banana. Lunch consisted of soy butter on tortillas, peppers, and pears. PM snack was Tami’s homemade heart shaped sugar cookies and string cheese.

The first Valentine’s of the day were shared this morning by our friend Emerson. When our Wee Friends heard the first “Happy Valentine’s Day, Daniel!” They flocked to their friend in eager anticipation. The celebration continues with a special snack and of course, more Valentine’s to share. Have a great weekend.

Wee Sprouts: Sweet peppers. Breakfast: Oatmeal and bananas. Lunch: Peanut butter sandwiches on whole wheat tortillas, broccoli, and bananas/oranges.  Snack: Tami’s Valentine cookies and cheese sticks.

Good Afternoon!

Nahla and Rosemary were sure happy to see Tate arrive this morning!

Housekeeping was quite packed this morning as friends chose to work with baby dolls and kitchen toys. Nahla made sure to give her baby doll extra snuggles!

Our favorite song was requested after snack. Friends really let it all go as they twirled around the room! These pictures really don’t capture how enthused we were . As a group, we belted out “let it go” in unison.

For breakfast, children had Chex and banana. Lunch consisted of brown rice with cheese, apples, and corn. PM snack was cheddar block cheese and oranges.

Hope everyone has a terrific night.
