NOTE! On Monday, Finn graduates from Wee Friends. He has requested water play to help celebrate the Big Day. So bring your suits!!!! We have towels.

August is always a time of change in our Wee Friends classroom. We say goodbye to old friends and welcome new ones. Our multi-age classroom shifts ages and we spend lots of time, on the floor, learning about our new friends and observing changes and developmental milestones in ‘old’ ones!

So we’ve reached this Friday with new information, new friendships, new ideas and new perspectives. Off Wee go into our new year! We’re so glad you’re with us.

Have a terrific weekend. –Laurie

Hello!

Friends wanted to paint this morning. So that’s exactly what we did. The sensorial aspect of our experience went from feeling the paint between our fingers to in our mouth. We talked about how we put food in our mouth and not paint. Even with our mouths a little blue (), our artwork turned out lovely! Friends really used all of the paper available to them today!

Sloane and Tate enjoyed some sibling bonding time on the swing while Miss Mindy and Nahla walked around to see a few butterflies!

Anna has really been grabbing for toys lately! They hold her attention and she’s enjoying the sensorial aspect of putting things in her mouth. As we know with all of our toddlers, that feeling of wanting to have anything in your mouth at anytime doesn’t go away .

For breakfast, children had eggs with raisins. Lunch consisted of cheese and refried bean tortillas, mixed vegetables, and grapes. PM snack was thin rice cakes with hummus. This is one of our favorite snacks!

Have a great night!

In everyday language, the big math word: symmetry, translates to harmony and equality. While we guided Wee Friends through symmetrical shapes and symmetrical Art Blobbing, they showed us another side of symmetry: Three boys. Three hugs. Three smiles. Put it all together for the ultimate symmetrical harmony: Friendship. It’s all around the Wee World.

Wee Sprouts: Cauliflower. Breakfast: Rice cakes with peanut butter and Asian pears. Lunch: Organic refried beans and cheese on whole wheat tortillas, grapes and cucumbers. Snack: Milk and Asian pears.

Hope your day is harmonious. –Laurie
