Good Afternoon.

We engaged in playdoh today for a fun sensory activity! We rolled, pounded, cut and smooshed our playdoh. We even used playdoh tools to enhance our creativity. Emma and Arthur even enjoyed the experience.  

During outdoor play, we gathered a few friends from the preschool classroom and played Ring Around the Rosie. We absolutely LOVE this fun interactive activity. The bigger kids make it even more fun! We’re always so happy when they play with us.

Paige and Katherine enjoyed playing together in the rock area.

Breakfast: Whole grain Oatmeal with cinnamon and apples.

Lunch: Farm fresh eggs with whole wheat butter toast, cucumbers along with cantaloupe and mandarin oranges.

Snack: Refried beans on Whole wheat Flat bread.

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers

Have a fantastic night.

Hello!

We switched out a few activities in the science area and one of our new favorites is the yoga figurines! Children have been asking about the poses, what they’re called, and attempting to do them!

The art table was buzzing with creativity. Some friends were choosing to draw detailed creatures using their imagination while others were asking for help spelling words. The art table has very few rules so that children have the space and opportunity to create freely!

A few friends chose calmer activities throughout the morning like puzzles and reading in the reading area.

One of the best parts of our day was being able to go outside and allowing the sun to shine on our face. A nice day meant the balance bikes were made available as well as baby dolls (two of our favorites!).

Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with banana.

Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh pepper/cherry tomatoes.

PM snack– Whole wheat english muffins with cream cheese and block swish cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/cherry tomatoes.

Have a wonderful night!

Good Afternoon.

Today two friends loved looking at our fish, Orangie! 

A two year old friend asked for the song, “Let it Go.”  So we had an Anna and Elsa dance party. That then led into a full fledged dance party with many different songs added to our dancing delights. 

The sensory table is always fun for us to explore. We enjoy scooping, pouring and measuring how much of the mixture we can get into our cups without it falling out and onto the floor.

Breakfast: Whole grain Cheerios and apples.

Lunch: Whole wheat bread with peanut butter, cheddar cheese, cucumbers and blueberries.

Snack: Whole wheat English muffins with butter and cinnamon.

Happy Friday!

Our hands were busy today! The building rug was full as usual. Children created all sorts of things with their two favorite building materials: magnatiles and trio blocks.

The circle table was full of children exploring various types of puzzles.

Evie and Daniel each asked to do the pattern blocks which is a challenging puzzle activity. There are tons of cards to choose from that have different puzzles. The pattern blocks require precision because the blocks need to be placed into the wooden square a specific way. They each were able to complete multiple puzzles!

Daniel and Bo explored the yoga figurines that were placed in the science area. They each chose their favorite pose and tested out their flexibility and balance by doing that pose!

We were ecstatic to be able to go outside for a little bit before lunch. A group of children played, ‘What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?’ before dispersing throughout the yard to dive into other activities.

Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with cream cheese and fresh pineapple.

Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat tortilla, fresh oranges, and fresh cucumber/pepper.

PM snack– Pretzels, fresh pineapple, and block cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely weekend!

Good Afternoon!

Our quiet Wednesday was full of building with materials big and small, creating things with our hands, and making music.

A few of our three year old’s used the oranges beams in habitrail to make ramps for their cars while other children occupied the art table and paint easel to make their own creations.

As we were wrapping up our morning, a few children serenaded us with a little piano while the tables were getting set for lunch.

Throughout the morning, kids made sure to say or sing happy birthday to Miss Kim who celebrates her birthday today!

We had the perfect Wednesday!

Good Afternoon!

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

We just finished up our 12 week FAB cycle last week. For the next two weeks, we’ll be revisiting a few FAB’s that we’ve worked on these last 12 weeks.

Today, it was all about syllables!

Mack and Evie used three different colors to identify whether a word was a one, two, or three syllable word. They used both methods to count syllables.

We continued this topic into K/PREK1 group. After reading, ‘Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site’, we read several words that were in the book. Children worked together to figure out what category each word went into. Friends did a great job at keeping track how many words were in each group. I heard things like, “Now the 2 and 3 group each have the same number!”

Our morning was full of painting, magnatiles, and a present wrapping station that was set up at the circle table.

Enjoy the pictures from the rest of our day!

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh pears.

Lunch– Whole wheat noodles with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, fresh pineapple, and fresh snap peas/pepper.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with fresh pineapple.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a wonderful night!
