Good Afternoon!
**Within the past two days, we’ve sent three children home due to illness. Besides the icky runny nose and bad cough, the symptoms include fever and vomiting.
For breakfast, children had cheerios and grapes. Lunch consisted of hummus on whole wheat bread, oranges, and snap peas. PM snack was grapes and string cheese.
Have a great night!
Wees spent their morning using logic and letter recognition to group like seasons, colors and foods. They also used blocks to hide-seek-find and count by twos. Elizabeth brought us a huge sheet of bubble wrap and stickers.
Enjoy the possibilities of this day.

Most of us came back with a little runny nose and cough. For that reason, it was a pretty low key morning full of stories and building with blocks.
Rosemary and Anna worked together to get the waffle blocks out. Rosemary looked at two blocks that were different: one with a hole in the middle and one that was solid without any holes.
For breakfast, children had eggs with oranges. AM snack was corn. Lunch consisted of spaghetti with marinara sauce, apples, and broccoli. PM snack was yogurt and crackers.
Have a wonderful night.
Hey, old friend
What d’ya say, old friend?
Are you okay, old friend?
Are we, are we unique?
Time goes by
Everything else keeps changing
You and I, we can
Continue next week.
Most friends fade
Or they don’t make the grade
New ones are quickly made
And in a pinch, sure, they’ll do.
But us, old friend
What’s to discuss, old friend?
Here’s to us, who’s like us?
Darn few.
-Stephen Sondheim

Our environment is based upon the idea of choice. For much of the day, friends are free to move from area to area as they please. It is always interesting to see where friends choose to spend their time.
Today, some friends spent time in the back constructing a house, building with Legos and driving cars.
Other friends hung baby clothes on the clothesline in our housekeeping area, practicing opening and closing those tricky clothespins!
And still other friends sat at the island trying to master straw weaving, manipulating yarn over and under, over and under straws.
Yet no matter what area of the house we choose to play and work in we are always learning, exploring and growing.
Have a great weekend! –Jessica

Hello! Here’s a quick reminder that the WF Annual Conferences will be Friday, March 6, 2015. Wee Friends will be closed this day. Tami will make sign up sheets available mid-February.
Clothespins, cookbooks and dominoes dominated our learning environment today. IN/OUT, UP/DOWN, AROUND were some of the concepts we explored. Numeral identification and color recognition were others. Add pinching, grasping, pulling (not each other)and choosing and we cooked up a pretty interesting (and happy) morning. Have a great day.-Laurie

It’s 7:45am and WF is ready for friends. “Let’s continue our tally work.” thinks the teacher. “Hmmmmm….could this learning experience be a bit more inviting?” she wonders. “Ponies! Yes. That will definitely bring them to the table. Bright, sparkling, purple ponies.” Waiting. Waiting. No one touches the ponies. Almost no one touches the tallies. The Power of the Ponies has failed. But it did induce a good laugh. Onward we went to creating a compass and an uppercase/lowercase spinning game. Morphing to our WF interest and direction. With or without the ponies….we press on to the Light of Learning.
Have a great day. – Laurie
