What a great morning! Some of our friends played with our train and car ramps. It was, “ready, set, go” and down the ramp they went! Some of the children enjoyed doing glue, glitter, and paint in the kitchen.

Miss Paulina brought out her guitar, down off the shelf came the drums and maracas, and it was music to our ears! The children played their instruments, and they sang some songs in Spanish, others in English.

After music, some of our official “potty trainers” kept up the wonderful work with a potty break, then outside we went.

Our breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs with cheese, and fresh pears. For lunch today, we had coscous with navy beans, carrots, and fresh fruit.

Just a reminder that your child will need snow pant, boots, hats, and mittens for the winter months. Please label all of their belongings. Temperature permitting, we will be taking the children outside.

Happy sunshine!

It has been a great day here at WWF! It was wonderful to hear about Trick Or Treat, pumpkins, and memories made! Thank you for sharing costumes with us, it is always a fun day!

This morning Marta, Olivia, and Sloane were very busy in our play kitchen, and are amazing chefs! They played wonderfully together, as well as individually. Some of the children enjoyed coloring with markers in the kitchen. Elizabeth was busy playing with her baby dolls, and then Sloane joined in. We also listened to our new CD with nursery rhymes. The children enjoyed dancing and singing along. After that, it was a morning walk. How nice to finally have some sun, and to be able to do that! We then shared some outside exploration. Pee Kay and Clara enjoyed a lot of floor time and crawling all around and enjoying their play time.

Our breakfast this morning was whole wheat toast and fresh fruit. For lunch today, we enjoyed cheese tortillas, fresh squash, and apples. Marta kept asking for more “apple pie!” Sure wish we would have had some, but our fresh cut apples worked out just fine!

Here are some “highlights” of our day….

Enjoy the beauty and sunshine of the day!

It has been a “spooktacular” day here at WWF. We started our morning with some more “Ooey Gooey” fun in a tub in the kitchen. It consisted of glue, paint, and cornstarch. What a fun mess! Some of the children opted for something a little less messier, and decorated some pumpkins with markers. Others opted for some sensorial fun with various Halloween items.

We also put on some Halloween music, and danced like crazy! It was a perfect time to learn the Limbo. Sloane, an expert “Limboer!” led the group. They all joined in! From there, we were on to the “Hokey Pokey.” After that we, grabbed a witches hat, or a Halloween pail, and danced to some more songs.

For breakfast we had cinnamon toast and fresh fruit and milk. For our hid-morning snack, we had carrots. Our lunch today was tuna and whole wheat noodles, vegetable medley and pears.

Just a reminder that as the cold weather is approaching, your child will need boots, snow pants, a hat and mittens. Please label all of your children’s items, and bring them in a bag labeled with your child’s name.

Despite the rain, have a “boo”tiful day!

Happy Friday!!

Halloween brings an opportunity to expose children to a whole new set of sensorial and cognitive experiences that are unsual. Yesterday we bagun with squirting orange paint on a tub filled with corn starch. Dripping, squeezing, stiring and orange, were some of the words that the children heard and repeated the most doing this activity. In the afternoon, we filled another sensory tub, this time with halloween decorations, plastic spiders, rings, skuls, bats and snakes were some of the items. We conversed with children naming, describing, counting and transferring the objects into buckets that let us sort as well. We also sung and danced to halloween songs. Our favorite cd right now is Marcia Louis’ Mr. Bones!

Today we continued our transportation study and made a city with road and buildings. Here are some shots of the day.

On Monday we invite you to bring your children on costumes, we will have more halooween fun!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Our morning started with some music and dancing. We listened to a CD that Eleanor brought in to share with us. Chloe and Ozzie are now part of our regular dancing, and Chloe has added some real spin to her moves!

Some of our friends were in the kitchen mxing up some “Ooey Gooey” fun. Cornstarch and paint were poured into a tub, some spoons distributed to mix it all up, and the children had so much fun with it. Others were at the jungle gym where we constructed a fort out of some silky material. We had sensorial activity all through WWF! Max, Jada, Sloane and Ozzie packed up their suitcases full of various different items, then jumped in the ball pit to drive to their destination. They used some of our plastic rings for steering wheels. Some of the children enjoyed doing some art while decorating pumpkins.

As the weather is changing, we might suggest bringing in extra pants and shirts, as some of the children get wet and muddy during our outside exploration. Also, please do not send your child in any “dress clothes” or shoes that might get soiled. We are getting close to the point where we will need boots, snow pants, extra socks, hats and mittens. We do go outside in the winter, temperature permitting. You may start bringing these items in any time you wish. Please label boots as we often have duplicates. Below is a picture of our children sitting so nicely to wait for a teacher to open the garage to get out our toys!

For breakfast this morning we had cereal and fresh fruit. Our hid-morning outside snack was carrots. For lunch today, we had cheese tortillas, sweet potatoes and bananas.

All of us are wishing Miss Marty a speedy recovery, as she just can’t seem to shake the illness she had last week. We hope she is getting plenty of rest, and taking her vitamins! A special thank you to Miss Amy, who always seems to be available when we need her.

Have a heart-filled day!
