Good Afternoon!

Here are a few pictures from today!

For breakfast, children had cheerios and oranges. Lunch consisted of tortillas filled with cheese and refried beans, corn, and watermelon/cantaloupe. PM snack was raisins and rice cakes with soy butter.

Have a lovely evening!

We are repurposing our outside balls. They have made very interesting art.

We created more ice houses for our ice village. We poured our “yucky marker” watercolor into several milk jugs, filled them with water and put them into the freezer.

Friends continued to work with the colored water by adding sponges and droppers.

 

Enjoy this beautiful day. –Laurie

Nora, Saskia, and Eren started off their week with a little sensory play. They sat at the table while shaving cream was put in front of them on a tray. We added red and blue paint which we found out eventually made purple! Friends loved putting the shaving cream between their hands. It felt so smooth!

Maya and Henri worked with blocks this afternoon. While Henri was working to get himself out of the basket, Maya noticed the camera. Lately, we’re all fascinated with the camera .

Dress up has been a favorite of ours lately. We love working with the hard hats! Today, we did a great job of sharing the hard hats with our friends who wanted a turn.

For breakfast, children had eggs with cheese and raisins. Lunch consisted of cheddar cheese on whole wheat bread, peas, and apples. PM snack was string cheese and pretzels.

Have a lovely evening!

There were lots of interesting conversations that happened today, but, by far, the most surprising was when a friend expressed in full voice “What the h**l is the matter with this?” A teacher sitting nearby listened, processed and a couple minutes later reacted.

“Tell me again what you said?”

“What the h**l is the matter here? I heard it on the home improvement show.”

“Ok. Well, usually the word h**l is used by grown ups when they are frustrated or angry about something.”

“Well, I’m definitely angry here.”

I can’t really think of anything else to share. Hope you have a great weekend. –Laurie

 

Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Cereal and apple slices. Lunch: Brown rice with red beans, orange slices and cucumbers. Snack: Fresh baked whole wheat bread with butter.

 

Hello!

It was a rather nice morning outside so we took full advantage of it! Outside play provides an opportunity for our friends to interact with older friends next door at Wee Friends. They see old friends and meet new ones. It’s a wonderful mixing pot of personalities and play types. Some kids go hard all the time while others hang back and play quietly. Outside allows us to be free.

Nora started chopping away at the tree stump while Lulu looked on at friends playing in the sandbox. She later joined them!

Eren has been working dilengently on different bikes. First, he started off with the green bike which is called a balance bike. It allows friends to work on their balancing skills by having no pedals. Within the past couple of days, his new challenge is the blue bike (tricycle). The combination of steering the bike and pedaling can often be challenging. While in the backyard this morning, we hear Eren say, “I did it! I did it!” as he’s pedaling along. He got the hang on pedaling and steering. He was SO proud of himself. It’s wonderful to watch a child complete a task while a huge SMILE takes up their face.

This afternoon, friends worked in the gross motor area where we maneuvered blocks, stairs, and other friends .

 

For breakfast, children had english muffins with butter and oranges. Lunch consisted of homemade cheese pizza with whole grain crust, fresh tomatoes and peppers, and banana. PM snack was hard boiled eggs and graham crackers.

I’ll leave you with a slideshow of Maya playing peek-a-boo!

Have a great night!

We will be taking Group A to the farm tomorrow! Group A: Finn, Elizabeth, Marta, Max, Elliott, Sophia, Sloane, Ellie, Owen and Aislinn. Group B: Leo, Clara, Zoi, Emma, Daniel, Eve, Eren and Nora.

We will leave Wee Friends at 9:30. Please have your child here in due time. Also, make sure your Wee Friend has farm boots or old shoes that can get yucky. Clothing layers are good as well! Thanks so much!

And SNAP! It took Aislinn two days to learn how to snap. Enjoy your day. –Laurie

Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Cereal and raisins. Lunch: Homemade, whole wheat crust cheese pizza, red peppers/tomatoes and bananas. Snack: Apples and cheese slices.

Hello!

**Even though it tends to still be a little chilly in the morning, please make sure that your child has the appropriate clothes in his/her cubby in the bathroom for any needed clothing changes throughout the day. Thanks! (HOPEFULLY, winter has fully left us)

First, we want to wish Henri a BIG happy 1st birthday! We love you!

Lucy, Maya, and Henri all joined the ‘toddlers’ club this week. In May, look for our last ‘baby’ to turn 1. Where has the time gone?

Between habitrail play and spending a lovely morning outside, friends had an exciting Wednesday! We’re half way through our week. We’re noticing that friends spirits are up and naps are better when we get some vitamin D outside!

For breakfast, children had eggs with cheese and strawberries. Lunch consisted of cream cheese filled tortillas, peas, and pears. PM snack was pretzels and cheese.

Have a lovely evening!

After reading My Garden by Kevin Henkes, we invited friends to take a nature walk and collect natural materials that they could create a garden mosaic with. When they came to the art table, Mel drew an outline of their inspiration. They filled it in with the items they found outside.

Max and Finn worked at the stove with dried Great Northern beans. They recorded how long it took for the water to boil. They poured the dried beans into the water and kept close watch, examining what happened to the beans. After a while, they took them out of the boiling water and studied them.

 

Enjoy your day. –Laurie

Wee Sprouts: Cherry tomatoes. Breakfast: Cereal and raisins. Lunch: Peanut butter on flatbread, fresh strawberries and bananas, watercress greens with sweet peppers. Snack: Cottage cheese and kiwi.

 

Good Afternoon!

Lucy, Henri, and Tate are continuing to master the habitrail! Yesterday, Henri was able to get up the whole habitrail by himself. Lucy and Tate are ecstatic when they go down the slide. It was a fun time had by all.

Nora and Tate had a blast outside. Nora worked on her balancing skills as she stepped from trunk to trunk.

Tate loved touching the cold sand with his fingers. It was a nice chance for us to get some fresh air!

For breakfast, children had english muffins with butter and oranges. Lunch consisted of cheese and chicken tortillas, broccoli, and banana. PM snack was graham crackers and strawberries.

Have a wonderful evening!
