Good Afternoon!
This morning several friends sat at the round table working on their fine motor, hand-eye coordination and color recognition skills as they matched the colors of the pop-up people or stacked the circles on the stacker.
Miss Bekah went down into the basement and found bear stamps and three different size bear cookie cutters for us to use in paint. We used the colors green, purple and yellow to paint with our bears to make prints. Some of us chose to finger paint our papers first and then add the bear prints. Miss Bekah shared that our painting creations looked to her a lot like the long wavy grass in the Bear Hunt book.
When we headed outside, the bikes and baby dolls were available for us. Some of us sat our babies on our bikes to ride with us, sat them next to us on the bench or found the paint cup holes of the easel a nice place to put their feet in so they can sit.
Breakfast: Overnight oatmeal and fresh pears.
Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs, toasted whole grain wheat bread with peanut butter, watermelon and sweet potatoes.
Afternoon Snack: Hummus on whole grain wheat tortillas.
Have a wonderful evening!

Good Afternoon!
Before we started getting ready for water play, children spaced out throughout the environment. James and Daniel started their morning by reading a few short non-fiction stories while Nesta and Millie used the bristle blocks to build with! Millie pronounced, “I made a sailboat!”
It was the perfect morning for sprinkler play! We used a circular sprinkler this morning which was brand new to our friends which created a fun and new experience!
Millie and James warmed up in the sun by putting on a little play! Friends and teachers gathered around to see their ‘Pirate Show’.
The sprinkler play sure gave children an appetite. Several friends flocked to the garden where they had kale pieces and had the opportunity to try a little dill from the garden!
Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with fresh oranges.
Lunch– Peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread, fresh pineapple, and fresh cucumber/pepper.
PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with butter and string cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.
Have a wonderful night!

Happy First Day of Summer and it came in with a bang!
We began our morning engaged in our own activities. A few of the friends shared with Miss Bekah what they were doing. Emily shared she was “feeding her baby.” Another friend shared she was “in a car,going on a trip with her bears.” Arthur was busy making toast for himself in the play kitchen and another friend was looking at a book with her teddy bears.
We then all headed into the kitchen to engage with playdough. We all were busy manipulating it with our hands and tools to make a variety of objects. Friends shared they were busy making cake, popsicles, a tear drop and a sandbox.
We then headed outside for another water play day. Miss Mindy brought in a different sprinkler for us to try. Since this sprinkler spins, we could choose whether we wanted to get really wet or stand back far enough to get a light sprinkle on our bodies.
When it was time to dry off in the warm sunshine, we engaged with the small construction trucks in the rock area, drew with chalk and drove the big trucks around by the little house.
Breakfast: Whole grain Cheerios and fresh apples.
Lunch: Refried beans and cheese quesadillas, fresh pineapple and peas.
Afternoon Snack: Whole grain wheat bagel with cream cheese and mozzarella cheese stick.
Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers.
Have a terrific evening!

Good Afternoon. I hope that all of our daddies had a great Father’s Day yesterday!
We began our morning, dancing with the teddy bears to the I’m Going on a Bear Hunt song.
Two of our friends, who are moving up to the pre-school classroom next week, then went over for a visit this morning. The other two friends that stayed in the classroom enjoyed washing some toys. We added a little soap to our water, a rougher textured sponge and a paint brush to clean our animals and Little People. As they were washing them, Emma picked up the horse and said “horse,” and then made the sound, “neigh.” Arthur made the sound of a lion and went “roar.” They had a lot of fun acting out the different animal sounds while getting them all nice and clean.

During outside time, we engaged in play in a big cardboard box from our new refrigerator that was delivered over the weekend. Miss Tami cut shapes to make windows and a skylight for us to enjoy looking out of while playing in the big box.
Breakfast: Whole grain wheat English muffins with butter and cinnamon and fresh oranges.
Lunch: Whole grain wheat pasta with butter and shredded turkey, fresh apples and cucumbers.
Afternoon Snack: Whole milk yogurt and fresh cantaloupe.

Good Afternoon!
Another water day is in the books!
Children ran through the sprinkler and splashed in the water all morning long!
We had a unique opportunity to explore ladybugs. We’ve had tons of aphids in between the two houses so Miss Tami bought 3,000 ladybugs to release in the space. The ladybugs eat the aphids so friends got to help place the ladybugs onto leaves so they could start their lunch! 
What a cool experience!
