Good Afternoon!

Adrian and Millie were two of the children who explored the peg activity at the circle table this morning! At first, Adrian matched the pegs to the peg board that he had. Once he did this a couple of times, he worked on stacking the pegs to see how high he could get them.

A group of older boys worked on digging a huge hole under the log house. As they dug the hole, they placed the dirt and pebbles into various buckets, trying to fill them up equal amounts.

The shade offered some relief from the hot sun which we enjoyed. On mornings like this, we are thankful for the big tree at the bottom of the yard!

Breakfast– Kix and fresh cantaloupe.

Lunch– Brown rice with butter and shredded pork, fresh watermelon, and fresh cucumber/carrots.

PM snack– Peanuts and whole wheat crackers.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely night!

Good Afternoon!

A few friends began their morning exploring the Peek-a blocks and rolling the ball through the STEM ball maze.

We then engaged looking at books independently before asking Miss Bekah to read to us.

Paige interacted with Eliza while she was playing.  When Paige would talk to Eliza, she would make cooing sounds back to her.

All of us then went into the kitchen to work on puzzles.  We worked on our matching and problem-solving skills while turning our pieces to make them fit in their place in the puzzle board until it was complete and we were ready for a different one.

We then headed outside before it got too hot and engaged in some water play at the table with the animals.

Breakfast:  Overnight Oatmeal with cinnamon/sugar mixture and apples.

Lunch:  Farm fresh scrambled eggs, banana, cucumbers and whole grain wheat toast with peanut butter.

Afternoon Snack:  Whole grain wheat tortillas with hummus/refried beans (kid’s choice).

Have a wonderful evening!

Good Afternoon!

This morning we began our day listening to music.  A song that we listened to was called,  One Little Finger.  In this song, we had to listen and follow along with the directions by pointing our finger up and then down and placing it on the body part that was told to us.  We enjoyed acting out and following the directions of the song.

We then headed into the kitchen to paint.  We didn’t paint with our hands this time, but our feet.  Miss Bekah and Miss Tina painted our feet the color we chose;  green, purple or red.  Some of us shared that it tickled the bottom of our feet when they were painted. We then enjoyed walking back and forth on our paper with the different colors and seeing our feet prints on it. 

Eliza enjoyed playing with the textured balls while we were painting.

We then headed outside to play and see our brother, sister and friends from the pre-school classroom.

Breakfast:  Kix cereal and fresh mandarin oranges.

Lunch:  Refried beans and shredded cheese quesadillas, apples and corn.

Afternoon Snack:  Whole grain wheat bagels with cream cheese and red bell peppers.

Have a great evening!

Our morning was full of fine motor work, building with various materials. Trio blocks, magnatiles, and Lego’s are always used at some capacity each day. Daniel took a break from building and read a few non-fiction stories with Cassie.

Lunch– Peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread, fresh watermelon, and fresh carrots/snap peas.

Good Afternoon!

This morning friends were busy in the habi-trail area building with the big wooden blocks and sitting in the rainbow mat playing with animals.  Emma made a nice cozy bed for her bear while another friend shared she had made “a cave for the bear.”

We then headed into the housekeeping area to cook,  have a picnic and wear dress-up clothes and capes.

We then headed outside to ride on the teeter totter, dig and scoop with different tools in the sandbox, go down the slide, cook in the kitchen and the highlight of every Monday is, watching the trash truck come and empty our trash bin!

Breakfast:  Whole grain wheat toast with butter and cinnamon/sugar mixture and fresh pears.

Lunch:  Whole grain wheat pasta with shredded chicken, fresh pears and fresh tomatoes from our garden.

Afternoon Snack:  Whole milk yogurt and graham crackers.

Have a great evening!

Good Afternoon and Happy August!

Monster creations started off our Monday morning! Children used paper towel rolls along with a variety of materials to create their own monster! A combination of feathers, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, crinkly paper, and metal rings were used in the making of our Wee Friend monsters.

The rest of our morning inside was full of laughter and children becoming engaged in activities that sparked their interest.

Once we were outside, children scattered throughout the yard. A group of older boys worked on making their own log house while other friends used the regular log house! The log house is one of our favorite activities as it challenges us. Friends love being up high and shouting down below them.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, fresh clementines, and fresh carrots/cucumber.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.
