Good Afternoon!

We started our Tuesday off with music time! Our friends loved using the drums and streamers while listening and singing to the music. We worked on following directions and listening to different beats. When they were given a beat, our friends were asked to follow it with the same beat.

When music time ended, children took turns in the kitchen working with two different activities. Some children worked with the sensory tub that had a coffee and flour mixture. Others chose to work at the table where they were given two bowls with elbow macaroni. They practiced scooping and pouring into bowls. Not only is this a life skill but they worked on their fine motor and hand motions.

We traveled outside into the sun where we rode bikes and wandered into play houses with our friends. It was nice to be outside with the sun on our faces!

For breakfast our friends had cheerios with apples. AM snack was snap peas. Lunch consisted of cous cous with beans, carrots, and bananas. PM snack was watermelon and string cheese.

Have a great evening!

Happy Friday!

Our Wee Wee Friends started their day off creating their own activity that occurred from children’s interest. Children helped Miss Tami as she pulled tape from the carpet. They became so interested in tape that we traveled to the kitchen where children got the chance to make their own tape project. Kids loved pulling the tape and how it stuck to their hands. Not only did this project work on strengthening their arm muscles but they were thinking about where to put the tape on the paper.

Jada made sure to stretch the tape long so she could put it on the paper.

Marina took her roll of tape and stretched it out in little sections. She ripped it off and put it carefully on the paper.

Clara loved the way that the tape felt. When she touched the sticky part with her hand, she looked up and laughed with a big smile! 🙂

Sloane used both her hands to put the tape on her paper. She noticed that the tape she was using was blue.

The tape project was over and the kids decided to clean up after themselves! They used wash cloths to clean the tables and the floors. Our friends were great helpers :).

For breakfast, our friends had eggs and bananas. AM snack was chick peas. Lunch consisted of whole wheat tortillas filled with shredded cheese and cream cheese, mixed vegetables, and mixed fruit. PM snack was string cheese and whole wheat crackers.

Have a great weekend, and enjoy the warmer weather 🙂

Hello!

Our friends started off their day at WWF with a sensory activity. Coffee was added to flour to make a dirt like substance. Children used their hands to sift the dirt as well as pouring tools to practice measuring and filling. Not only was this a great ‘touching’ activity, but our friends noticed how lovely the house smelt! Coffee filled the air!

While some of our friends were in the kitchen doing the sensory activity, a yoga session was taking place in the living room. Children did ‘downward facing dog’ along with a variety of stretches. One of our favorite songs came on which was ‘big brown bear’. Kids went around the living room on all fours growling like bears :)! Their gross motor skills were in high gear this morning!

For breakfast, our friends had eggs, toast, and apples. AM snack was peppers. Lunch consisted of whole wheat rice, bananas, and mixed vegetables. PM snack was crackers and raisins.

Have a wonderful night!

If you have any questions about what’s acceptable, please ask! Thanks!

Aiden was all smiles today! He is enjoying using his arms and legs while having floor time at WWF. Sloane was working on pouring shapes from container to container. Her fine motor skills were in action while she was carefully pouring the shapes, making sure not to spill. Marina and Ozzie worked together using cars and driving them on the small window sill.

Marina, Sloane, Chloe, and Ozzie traveled to the kitchen to build a play-dough road. They took cars and drove on the pretend road. A few friends volunteered to go and retrieve play people that could walk on the road! Marina and Chloe took their hands and rolled the play-dough into a thin line.

Music time involved children using sand blocks, scarves, and streamers. Jada took her two sand blocks and scrapped them together. P.K. took his baby and wrapped her up with a scarf. He was caring while putting the baby down for night time. Ellie snuggled up with Ms. Paulina while singing a song. Ellie made sure to hum the words while Ms. Paulina played her guitar.

Good Afternoon!

Hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! We started off our morning by playing with our friends that we haven’t seen for three whole days! Some children chose to play in the tunnel while others chose to work with play-dough. Our friends gathered together on the floor this morning and worked together while playing a game.

We went outside where our friends visited the slide quite often. Children also liked riding the bikes and playing with their Wee Friends from next door! It was great to get some fresh air. Our friends worked great together while they were going down the slide holding hands!

While most of our friends were sound asleep, a few children gathered in the living room where they played together.

This morning for breakfast our friends enjoyed cheerios with pears. AM snack was cucumbers. Lunch consisted of whole wheat macaroni and cheese, mixed vegetables, and apples. PM snack was rice cakes with cream cheese.

Hope everyone has a great evening!

Happy Thursday!

We started our day off by doing an Easter activity. Friends took turns in the kitchen using bingo dotters. Children were very precise in where and how they colored their egg and the surrounding space. Some children chose to just color the egg itself while others colored the outer space. We even had children color everywhere! When kids were done, they could choose to add pink sprinkles to their Easter artwork. This was their favorite part!

Marina and Ellie chose to work with one bingo dotter at a time.

Elizabeth chose to use two bingo dotters at a time!

Jada did a great job using her words when she wanted a different color.

Ozzie called out the colors that he was using.

Olivia made sure to dot both sides of her paper! She wanted to make sure that there was no wasted space :).

Music time started shortly after our Easter egg work! Children used their imagination by laying down and pretending to go to sleep. Friends covered each other up using scarves. Ellie, Elizabeth and Ozzie sure got into the dancing aspect of music time!

Chloe sure did have a great time riding on the back of the trailer bicycle. Her Wee Friends were very courteous by giving her a ride!

For breakfast, our friends enjoyed eggs with apples. Lunch consisted of a turkey sandwich with whole wheat bread, apples, and green peas. PM snack was hard boiled eggs and apples.

Hope everyone has a safe and glorious weekend! 🙂

Good Afternoon!

Our morning started with music time. Children used musical shakers as well drums to make different sounds that echoed throughout the house. Our friends followed directions by jumping, shaking, and bouncing to the music. Our favorite though is running! Kids are really using their gross motor skills throughout our music session.

It was such a beautiful morning! We headed outside a little early to catch some of that gorgeous sunshine. Our friends rode bikes and used their arms to push grocery carts. The sandbox was thoroughly enjoyed by all!

While outside, a few of our friends noticed that a bush of lilacs was starting to bloom. Our friends smelled the flowers and a child yelled out, “It’s purple!”

For breakfast, our friends had cereal and apples. Lunch consisted of whole wheat macaroni and cheese with chicken, butter beans, and oranges. PM snack was honey cornbread and pears.

Hope everyone has a spectacular evening!

Hello!

Our friends started their day off by learning about beets. Children tore off the leaves of the beats and then pulled the stalks out of the bulb. A few of our friends helped to break the stalks so that they could be boiled in a pot of water. Tomorrow we will continue our beet investigation by dying eggs with the coloring from the beets!

While the stalks were boiling on the stove, our friends used the leaves of the beets to paint! Children used purple paint along with the leaves to make different strokes and lines on their paper.

After beet painting, we headed outside where children chose to ride bikes and play in the sandbox. We also brought out our grass to see if it was growing at all. Since it was such a sunny day out, we thought the grass could use some glorious sunshine :).

For breakfast our friends enjoyed eggs and apples. Lunch consisted of whole wheat pita bread sandwiches with hummus, cucumbers, and bananas. PM snack was crackers, string cheese, and apples.

Hope everyone has a wonderful evening!

Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a terrific weekend!

Our friends read books with teachers and friends to start their day! Children are becoming very knowledgable as to the characteristics of books. Kids are turning the pages correctly and when we come to the end of the book they say, “All done!” Friends also got dressed up in hats and used purses as an accessory. They ran around the house and made sure that every friend had something to play with such as a hat.

A few of our friends travelled into the kitchen where they worked with colored magnets. Kids were having a great time stacking the magnets to see how high they would go! Ozzie and Jada decided to clean off the plastic shapes. They made sure to scrub the shapes so they would get all clean.

For breakfast this morning, our friends were served eggs with apples. AM snack was green peas. Lunch consisted of whole wheat pasta with marinara, mixed vegetables, and fruit salad. Our afternoon snack was bananas and crackers.

Have a great evening!
