Happy Monday!

**Wee Friends will be closed starting Monday, December 20 through Friday, December 31st.

In K/PREK1, we read, ‘Thank You Earth’ which is a book from our MACK collection. It talks about everyone that our Earth provides us: storms, flowers, mountains to name just a few.

Afterwards, we talked about maps and globes and how they are different. When we identified them as being 2-D and 3-D, Mack asked, “What would be 1 dimensional then?”—we’re always thinking and asking questions!

We used the map of the United States to identify where Indiana is located. Friends were quick to point out states that they have heard of before.

Social Studies: K.3.2 Identify maps and globes as ways of representing Earth and understand differences between a map/globe.

In PREK2, children looked at two maps: one of the world and one of the North Pole! Miss Kim showed them where the North Pole is on the world map.

Good afternoon.

Today Emma and a two year old friend were playing peek-a-boo at the habitrail ladder. It was so sweet and both friends smiled and laughed away.

Good Afternoon. JAMMIE DAY TOMORROW!!!!!

One of our friends has just started wearing glasses, so her mommy brought in a couple books for us to read. Douglas, You Need Glasses and Fancy Nancy Spectacular Spectacles were a big hit with a couple of our friends.

We always work with our friends on the fact that we all look different and do things differently, but we are all wonderful inside and out.  

We then headed into the kitchen for an awesome science activity/experiment.We have been listening to a song called, The Freeze Dance… Lava..

Miss Bekah used vinegar and baking soda to create our own kind of lava. Friends LOVED the way it fizzed and how it bubbled up. Miss Marty asked friends if the smell was a stinky smell or a good smell to them. All of our friends said, “stinky!!”

After that was all cleaned up, we extended our kitchen play by playing in a bins of water. We washed plates. cups and the food from the housekeeping center.

What a fun filled day!

PLEASE NOTE: WEE FRIENDS WILL BE CLOSED THIS THURSDAY AND FRDAY 11/25 AND 11/26 IN OBSERVANCE OF THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY.  WE ALSO, WILL HAVE A PAJAMMA DAY ON WEDNESDAY.

Today we engaged in a sensory and hand-eye coordination activity. We took dot markers and dotted all over our white papers. Our pictures are very colorful and bright. Some of us dotted hard while others dotted softly. This can be an extension of our play while we are in the main area of the classroom as well by showing friends the differences of  hard and soft touches.

We then engaged in an interactive gross motor activity. Miss Bekah taught us a song called, See the Bunnies Sleeping. We all lie down and pretend to be sleeping and then we wake up and hop like bunnies. We all love this song very much, it’s one of our favorites… especially when we switch to different animals to act out.

Breakfast: Whole wheat peanut butter toast with oranges.

Lunch: Whole wheat elbow pasta with butter and shredded chicken, sweet potatoes and mandarin oranges.

Snack: Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.
