Good Afternoon.

We had a friend ask later in the day yesterday if we could paint. It was unfortunately too late so we painted first thing this morning.  

Friends were VERY excited! This activity enhances our hand-eye coordination, fine motor, sensory and color recognition skills.

Outdoors, we had so much fun engaging with one another and re-connecting  with some of our graduated Wee Wee’s on the ever so popular slides.

Breakfast: Whole grain Oatmeal with homey and oranges.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs, whole wheat English muffins with butter, corn and pears.

Snack: Whole wheat crackers and pumpkin seeds.

Wee Spouts: Cucumbers (Our FAVORITE)

Have a wonderful night.

Good Afternoon!

This morning was all about cooperation and conversation. There were several groups scattered throughout the environment that were working together during their play or while they were building.

A group of older peers in habitrail started building using the wooden notch blocks. They grabbed a picture of a building and tried their hardest to replicate it! Once they were done, they sat in their creation which took them to wonderous places!

Our outside experience was absolutely perfect this morning. It was cloudy with a slight breeze which is wonderful bug hunting weather. I started pulling a few weeds and I quickly got two helpers in Jack and Daniel! They even went as far to grab shovels and dig the roots out—talk about teamwork.

Breakfast– Kix and fresh cantaloupe.

Lunch– Melted shredded cheese on whole wheat flatbread, fresh cantaloupe/banana/orange, and fresh snap peas.

PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and string cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas.

Have a lovely evening!

Good Afternoon.

PLEASE NOTE: WE HAVE EXTRA MASKS IN THE FRONT OF THE CLASSOOM IF A MASK IS NEEDED AT DROP OFF OR PICK UP.

This morning we received a shipment of food from GFS and it was of much interest to some of us to see their big truck but the really cool thing was….. THE BOXES that we were able to play in.

We made them into boats and we rowed ourselves away into the sea.  

We then headed outdoors and had more fun engaging with the cars and trucks. We raced them around the bench and even crashed into one another at times.

Breakfast: Whole grain Cheerios and oranges.

Lunch: Whole wheat flat bread with refried beans and shredded cheese, sweet potatoes  and apples.

Snack: Whole wheat bagels with either cream cheese or peanut butter. (Kids choice)

Happy Friday!

What a transitional week we had!

Two new friends joined our classroom, a few children left on vacation, and we’re missing old friends from afar.

But, it’s given children time to form new relationships and take on new roles. With our current kindergarteners soon exiting, our new group of K friends are starting to take on the prestigious leader role. This has been very evident this week especially when it comes to helping our new friends with the daily procedures that are brand new to them.

Within the next month, our classroom will go through a change as it always does in August. Somehow, we are almost halfway through July!

“Learning is messy, but it’s a beautiful mess.”

…(as evident by our feet and fingernails this week! )

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

Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, block cheese, fresh watermelon/oranges, and fresh cherry tomatoes/cucumber.

PM snack– Pretzels and block cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cherry tomatoes/cucumber.

Have a lovely weekend!

Good Afternoon and happy Friday!

This morning while friends were outside in the sandbox some weeds were found.  Miss Rebekah pulled out what she thought was a weed. Come to find out some of our squirrels were hiding corn in the sand.

Miss Rebekah and friends were having a conversation on where corn is supposed to  grow and friends said, “in the garden.”

What a very cool and interesting place for the squirrels to hide their corn, not too mention an interesting lesson for our Wee Wee’s to learn about.

Breakfast: Whole grain brown rice cakes and apples.

Lunch: Whole wheat tortillas and turkey lunchmeat, cucumbers and pears.

Snack: Whole wheat cheese crackers and Mozzarella string cheese.

Good Afternoon!

Our Wednesday was full of card games, water play, laughter, and budding friendships.

Summer offers up many transitions. New schools. New friends. Friends leaving for a new school. And the inconsistency is even more so given the times we’re in. But one thing is certain. Children are resilient.

“Building resilience in your children does not mean trying to toughen them up. It means working with them through struggles and being a source of loving, unconditional support.”

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with honey and fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with shredded cheese, whole wheat bread, fresh watermelon, and fresh snap peas/cucumber.

PM snack– Blue corn chips and hummus.

Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas/cucumber.

Have a wonderful night!
