Good Afternoon.

This morning we had a very special visitor that will be starting our classroom within the next couple of weeks. Emma is a sibling of James in the preschool classroom. We can’t wait to have her daily in the environment.

This morning we happily engaged in the pegs and peg boards. This activity enhances our fine motor, hand-eye coordination and color recognition skills as well as being able to identify the shapes of the boards.

During outdoor play, Adrian engaged himself at the chalkboard. He told Miss Bekah he made a tornado. He was using great imagination skills with his drawing. Just what we love to see.

Breakfast: Whole grain Chex cereal with watermelon.

Lunch:Warm whole wheat tortillas with refried beans and shredded cheese, peas and watermelon.

Snack: Whole wheat bagels with cream cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh yellow peppers.

Have a nice night.

Good Afternoon. I hope you all had a great weekend.

PLEASE NOTE: WEDNESDAY WE WILL BE HAVING A WATER PLAY DAY. PLEASE BRINGS SWIM SUITS AND WATER SHOES (IF YOUR CHILD HAS THEM.) THANK YOU.

This morning we had a great time engaging in shaving cream play. This activity enhances our sensory experience and our fine motor skills. Paint brushes, a cookie cutter and tongue depressor were added in to our play.

We then decided to get out our colorful rings and place them on our friend Adrian’s neck. During our play with this activity, we learn to share, take turns and be aware of our friends body space.

Meanwhile, our friend Arthur is happily finding his way in and out of the classroom.

Breakfast: Whole wheat peanut butter toast with fresh banana.

Lunch: Whole wheat Penne noodles with butter and black beans, peas and oranges.

Good Afternoon and Happy Friday!

We had no problems chasing our rainy day blues away today! Boy Oh Boy, did we keep busy!?!?!

We got our bodies up and  moving with a dance party. We heard our “Hair Up” song from the trolls soundtrack and put our hair up in the air.

We then had a great time with helping a friend celebrate her second birthday today by making playdoh birthday cakes. Our candles were golf tees! We all had such a good time.

Then we used our new alphabet foam floor letters to create the alphabet and make a long puzzle train. We each found our the letter of our first name and stood on it! We even found a ABC song on the computer to listen to! What a great day!!!

Breakfast: Whole grain brown rice cakes with peanut butter and apples.

Lunch: Whole wheat warmed flatbread with turkey lunchmeat and shredded cheese, sweet potatoes and oranges.

Snack: A birthday treat of yummy watermelon and garden fresh cucumbers and mozzarella cheese stick.

Happy Friday!

There was so much going on this morning! The art table saw several different activities form this morning.

The first activity that children requested was bead bracelets! Children love making bead bracelets using pipe cleaners and colorful beads. Not only is this a great fine motor exercise but friends love implementing either their favorite colors or a pattern and sometimes even a word.

Of course, the first thing children think about is who they’re going to make their bracelet for (and it’s usually either mom or dad! )

Later on in the morning, Miss Annastecia helped most of our kindergarteners with origami! Friends were able to complete three origami creations: star box, swan, and butterfly!

Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh apples.

Lunch– Ham and turkey cream cheese rollups, whole wheat flatbread, fresh oranges/apples, and fresh broccoli/cucumber.

PM snack– Cheddar cheese, fresh watermelon, and goldfish.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/broccoli.

Have a lovely weekend!

Good Afternoon!

**Please bring a swimsuit for your child by next Wednesday, July 21st. Thanks!

We had a long line of friends waiting for a turn at the art table where children explored with two water colors. They used eye droppers to transfer water from jar to jar and worked on their pouring skills! Some friends explored this activity for over 30 minutes!

While Mack and Franklin waited for a turn at the art table, they decided they wanted to make a maze using dominos. Once their maze was complete, they took colored teddy bears and had them travel throughout the maze.

We went outside and children immediately dispersed into various parts of the outdoor environment.

A large group of friends stationed themselves in the sandbox where they worked together to form a large sand pile. Children created little holes on the side of the hill. The holes connected to one another and formed a really cool maze!

Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with banana.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded beef, fresh apples/oranges, and fresh cucumber/pepper.

PM snack– Peanuts and wheat thins.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely night!

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are all enjoying a day without any rain!!!

This morning Paige was excited about climbing up on the soft star climber. She is able to work on strengthening her gross motor skills as well as her cognitive skills to figure out how to successfully climb up! She was also working hard on picking up the half circle soft star.

We then started listening to the song, We are the dinosaurs (marching), which then led into playing with our musical shakers/bells. We have a bell that sounds a lot like a Christmas bell, so Miss Bekah sang Jingle Bells.  

Arthur had a great time enjoying the outdoors and a few of the Wee Friends came over to hang out with him. I’m pretty confident everyone involved enjoys the friendships. 

Breakfast: Whole grain oatmeal and banana.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs, whole wheat butter toast, peas/carrots and apples.

Snack: Whole wheat flatbread with hummus and fresh banana.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh red peppers.

Have a lovely evening.
