Our backyard has been littered with helicopters this week! James and Maggie took apart the helicopters at the table at the bottom of the yard.

This morning we all engaged in an art sensory activity! We dipped large bugs into our paint and then walked them onto the paper.However, that quickly turned into finger/hand painting for some of of younger Wee Wee”s.

Breakfast: Whole grain Chex cereal and apples.

Lunch: Whole wheat warned refried ben and shredded cheddar cheese quesadillas, fresh red peppers and pears.

Good Afternoon!

Rowan took Miss Nina around this morning to look for treasure (aka small pebbles, pieces of our towels, fuzz, string). When she found enough treasure, she went to the art table and drew a map of the classroom environment. She marked on the map where she found treasure and then walked around the classroom, identifying the spaces on the map where treasure was found! What an authentic learning experience involving maps and documentation!

We are loving our new blocks in our outdoor environment. Daniel was a little frustrated this morning as he was putting the new trucks down the ramp, stating, “they’re not going down the ramp fast enough!”

He thought about it and after he was given a few suggestions, he went and grabbed a green bucket to so that the ramp could lean on the lip of the bucket. He tried out his problem solving technique and eventually yelped, “It makes it go faster!”

Several friends took chalk and used it on the cement and on the chalkboard this morning! Letters could be seen on the chalkboard as well as a few words! A teacher was standing nearby just in case there were any questions regarding letters or letter formation.

Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with fresh pears.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded pork, fresh pineapple/banana, and fresh snap peas/cucumber.

PM snack– Whole wheat crackers with sunflower seeds.

Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas/cucumber.

Have a great night!

Good Afternoon!

Mack and Daniel sat down to play a math game that uses dice. Each player has wooden pegs ranging from 1 to 10. They roll two dice and depending on the pegs they have showing, they’ll add or subtract the two dice so that they can put a peg down. For examples, Mack rolled a 5 and a 2. He already had the number 7 down so he decided to subtract the two numbers. He figured out that the answer was 3 so he put the 3 peg down. Evie sat down later to explore the game with Mack!

Children sat at the art table and explored making art using markers, crayons, and our favorite as of late: paint dotters!

There are an assortment of colorful paint dotters, almost mimicking the colors of the rainbow. Without direction, most children are drawn to using the dotters is a color specific way—making a whole line of red dots, followed by a line of oranges dots, and so on.

Other children use the dotters in a random fashion, making colorful dots all over the page and in no specific order. The children are using the exact same tools but the results are drastically different and unique.

We were able to get outside this morning before it started raining! Some of us even chose to wear a sweater—a big change from the last couple of days!

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh pears.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat tortilla, fresh honeydew melon/oranges, and fresh snap peas/cucumber/cherry tomatoes.

PM snack– Air popped popcorn with butter and fresh apples.

Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas/cherry tomatoes.

Have a lovely night!

Happy rainy Wednesday 

This morning a friend asked if we could listen to the We’re Goin’ on a Bear Hunt song. We listened to a couple different versions and that gave Bekah and idea! Why not make our very own cave?!?! So she got a large bed sheet and did just that… Waaalah, our cave was a hit! We then danced away, and with very silly bodies I might add.  

We were fortunate to get outside for about an hour before the rain came! We definitely enjoyed our time. 

Breakfast: Whole grain Oatmeal with cinnamon and oranges.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs with shredded cheese, fresh cucumbers and banana.

Snack: Whole wheat crackers with hummus.

Have a wonderful night.
