Good afternoon Families,
Today while we were outside exploring the milkweed, we found a monarch caterpillar. Luckily we happened to have a butterfly habitat in the basement to create a place to observe our caterpillar’s growth. We filled the habitat with plenty of milkweed for the caterpillar to eat since we learned it is their only food. Everyone was eager to have a look at our classroom guest. We examined butterfly books and monarch life cycle cards. We read a book about the monarch butterfly’s life cycle and migration at small group today, so be sure to ask your child what they remember about Monarch butterflies!
This morning we explored kinetic sand and beads to see what kinds of creative ideas we could come up with during imaginative play. We had several decorated cakes, dumplings and muffins. We also had some little mosaics that made for some beautifully ephemeral art work.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh pineapple
Lunch: Cheesy whole wheat pasta and marinara with oranges slices, bananas, fresh tomatoes and fresh beets

Good afternoon!
Our babies were full of smiles and silliness today! Eleanor kept lifting her shirt to cover her eyes to play peek-a-boo with her friends. Eden shook her toy to hear the rattle inside and smiled at her teachers.
We asked our friend Emily to choose the activity she wanted to do today and she said “dot markers!.” We made our way outside with Ms.Tina to paint with the markers under the shade. We all made wonderful art pieces with so many different colors!
While we were outside, our friends asked if we could check out the garden to see if we had any ripe veggies. We found some cherry tomatoes, green beans, and peas!

Happy Wednesday!
It was a creative day! A child lead art experiment took form this morning in the art center! We started a request for glue. Paige has been particularly active in the art center and wanted to work on a collage. Rowan quickly joined and the two were more interested in making designs with the glue that gluing on objects. From there we tried filling some squeeze bottles with paint and allowing then to run with it! This drew the interest of quite a few other friends as it developed and turned into a productive morning of art experimentation. We are very proud of out older kids reminding our younger ones to make shapes instead of puddles:)
Arthur was quite the marble run engineer this morning! He made a three level working marble run all by himself. He had a group of older kids gather around him and ask to try his marble run. He was very kind letting friends try it out. What an accomplishment for such a young Wee Friend! The marble runs have been popular for lots of friends lately! There has been a great deal of trial and error as well as sharing of ideas on the building rug!
Have a lovely Afternoon!
Breakfast: Cinnamon oatmeal with fresh pears

Good Afternoon!
This morning we spent some quality time engaged in a book on the reading step with several of our friends.
We then headed into the kitchen to work on our puzzle skills. We worked to manipulate our puzzle piece to fit in its place in the board after we matched the colors or pictures together.
We then headed outside to engage in some water play with sea animals, plastic boats and small containers to use to scoop and pour the water. Eliza drove her school bus around the cement with Little People passengers inside. Dax explored a little stick he found that he could hold between two fingers.

Happy first day of August!
Eleanor and Eden both explored different baby toys this morning, like the handheld mirror square and the plush cubes.
Eliza and Dax engaged with the object permanence boxes. They worked on putting either balls or coins through a slot and then they switched boxes so that they could each have a turn.
We then made our way outside where we went down the slide, peeked through the play house’s window, rode the teeter totter with a friend, explored the grass with our fingers and shared smiles with Miss Bekah.
Breakfast: Whole grain Cheerios cereal with fresh cantaloupe slices.
Lunch: Whole grain wheat tortilla with peanut butter, 1/2 mozzarella cheese stick, fresh oranges and carrot chips.
