Happy Friday!

It’s Graduation Day!!

Penny, Grady, and David graduated kindergarten today! They have all been a part of Wee Friends for several years. We’ve been able to witness their personalities grow, form deep and meaningful friendships, and blossom into the individuals they are today.

Today is Penny’s last day and while we get to keep David and Grady a few extra weeks, the classroom will miss their energy and charisma SO much!

When asked, these are the thoughts they have about this transition coming up:

Grady: “In the winter, you can bring sleds to my new school!”

Penny: “I’m excited to go to school with my friend!”

David: “I’m excited for winter feast because you get prizes!”

‘Excited’ and ‘ready’ are two themes that are flowing through these three friends Smile.

Good Afternoon!

Our ability to explore various activities for a longer period of time was very evident this morning as friends chose or asked for a certain activity and explored or extended that activity until we went outside.

Franklin chose to build a train track and this lasted the entire morning! A few friends helped here and there but he built the majority of it, having to move different pieces around because they weren’t working the way he was envisioning.

A few card games were going on at the island: Go Fish is a favorite of ours lately!

While we definitely ran off some energy once we got outside, we were also able to soak up with vitamin D and fresh air to help us calm our bodies. There have been a few children who have shown interest in yoga and different yoga poses. We tried a few poses outside to practice our breathing and balance!
