Welcome back!  We hope everyone had a wonderful summer break!

Today we welcomed our new friend, Eliza, to the WWF classroom.  Eliza is William’s little sister and he really enjoyed spending some quality time with her when we were outside this morning.

Much of everyone’s morning was filled with baby watching, but we stayed busy taking care of our own baby dolls, looking at the new butterfly decoration on the neighbor’s house, reading lots of books, and we enjoyed the mild overcast weather outside.

Good Afternoon!

Children had the opportunity to come to the art table this morning to paint a wooden maraca! It offered a much different canvas for friends to paint on because it wasn’t flat. Children held the maraca with one hand and painted with the other hand.

The circle table was buzzing with children completely puzzles ranging from wooden puzzles to foam puzzles to 24 piece puzzles. Friends challenged themselves and tried puzzles that they haven’t done before. If they got stuck, an older friend was around to help them out.

It was the perfect morning for outside exploration. The hoop was put out and children got their favorite colored ball. Several friends tried many times to try to make a basket! Perseverance at its finest!

Children sat down at the art table where trays were put out with various treasure! A few friends used a magnetic clip to see what treasure was magnetic and what treasure wasn’t.

Good Afternoon!

Today is a bittersweet day, as two of our friends will move across the bridge to the pre-school classroom next week.  We will miss them dearly, but know that we will still be able to see and engage in play with them outside.

We began our day climbing, listening to a teacher read or looking at a book independently and engaged giving a baby a bath in the sink.

IMG_8696IMG_8698IMG_8697IMG_8700

Emily asked to listen to the song, Row, Row, Row Your Boat.  All of her friends, grabbed a big plastic block to sit in and moved their arms in the rowing motion as we listened to the song.

IMG_8702IMG_8703

We then headed into the kitchen to engage in the rice/bird seed sensory table.  We all were busy scooping and pouring with our cups into our bowls and looking for the plastic ant that was hidden in the table until we found it.

IMG_8706IMG_8715IMG_8713

We then headed outside to engage in our favorite activities.

Good Afternoon!

The art project that children explored this morning was one in which they mixed colors using a straight edge. They used four paint bottles: red, blue, yellow, and white. They made five dots of each color and once all of the dots were on their paper, they used the straight edge to mix the colors! They all turned out so unique and different because of where the dots of paint were placed on the paper—which is our favorite!

We headed outside to a gorgeous morning! Children gathered in various spots throughout the yard. A group of friends used sticks around their fire and roasted marshmallows. Yum!
