Good afternoon!
We had a very musical morning today. Ben and Eliza danced with silk scarves and bean bags. We then brought down some drums and our friends drummed along to different songs like “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” After we put the drums away, we sang along and did the motions to “The Wheels On the Bus.” When the song “Ants Go Marching” came on, our friends stood up and marched in a circle!
We headed outside and engaged in our favorite activities. Eliza rode the bike down the hill and her friend Dax walked down the hill with his green bucket. Emily and Arthur helped pick different weeds and put them in a wheelbarrow. Ben rode the teeter totter and Paige looked for bugs in the cracks of the backyard. Dax also enjoyed playing in the sandbox with his older brother.

Lunch: Whole grain brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh banana, and cucumber slices.
Afternoon Snack: Sunflower seeds with Triscuit crackers.

Good afternoon everyone! We had a wonderful day of clay! We explored many different aspects of clay and what we can do with it.
This morning we explored terracotta clay at the outdoor art center. We learned that we could spray our clay with water and choose how soft we wanted it to be…which turned out to be very soft for most of us since we enjoyed spraying the clay so much! We noticed how the clay got a very slippery layer as we added water and we learned this is called slip. We made a variety of creations including a sting ray, a chicken, a dinosaur nest with eggs, a cake and a snow man.
We also used our slip (clay mixed with water) to do a little stone painting project which was engaging for both Wee Friends and Wee wee Friends!
We stayed busy indoors as well with art projects and imaginative play!
Breakfast: oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh strawberries
Lunch: Scrambled eggs with fresh nectarines, pineapple and cucumbers
PM snack: humus with tortilla chips
Wee Sprouts: fresh carrots and fresh cucumbers
We hope you enjoy the pictures of our day!

We then hopped on the walked across the liquid squares, built with Magna-Tiles, read a book with Miss Tina and sat together using measuring spoons from housekeeping and a wooden ball and pushed the ball around to each friend with our spoon. Eleanor engaged with her star toy and lifting it up at eye level to look at it.
We have been into building with Magna-Tiles, Miss Bekah decided we would have some sensory play with them and shaving cream. While we were building, we cleaned them with the shaving cream

To welcome our friend Hannah back, we all dressed up and danced to her favorite song: “Let It Go.”
We then engaged in different activities. Emily and Hannah gathered at the reading steps to listen to Miss Bekah read some books. Eliza sat on a wooden block and scooted all over the carpet with it. Paige put on her construction hat and used a hammer to work on the Habi-trail area. Eleanor played the piano while doing tummy time!
We made our way outside a little early to beat the heat! Arthur enjoyed pushing the wheelbarrow all over the backyard. Emily played with baby dolls with her sister Maggie. Eliza sat down in the play house to play with the little kitchenette. Hannah explored her artistic skills with markers at the art center.

Happy Monday!
William was determined to build the tallest marble run this morning! He built it so high that he ran into a problem…how to get the marble in. He tried bending the run in order to put the marble inside but that idea proved unsuccessful. He finally chose to remove just enough of the tube so the marble run was still functional but at maximum height. It was a great lesson in the constrains of engineering projects and how to balance form and function!
Friends in the art center created abstract art work using colored paper, glue, sequins and foam shapes, numbers and letters. Some chose the mixed media rout using crayons and markers first, then adding the glued pieces on top. As usual there was a great conversation about the art work being made at the table and sharing of ideas!
Outside We got some exercise on the balance bikes and tricycles!
We got creative at the outdoor art center too! Imogen had the interesting idea of designing a house just for rolly- polly bugs on paper and then putting real rolly-polly bugs that she had found into the house. This is the kind of project that can only be done in an outdoor art center
Breakfast: whole wheat bagels with fresh clementine
Lunch: Home made Macaroni and Cheese with whole wheat pasta, fresh snap peas from our garden, green peppers and pears
PM Snack: yogurt with granola
Wee Sprouts: fresh carrot slices and green peppers

Happy Monday!
We began our morning engaged in a variety of activities. Arthur and Eliza played music instruments making beautiful sounds, Eleanor, Emily and Paige looked at books, Ben climbed up on a wooden block to sit at the ballet bar and look in the mirrors and Dax dressed up by adding a tie and cape to his outfit.
Today is Miss Bekah’s birthday so we brought up the birthday cake stacker. We all helped each other stack the cake and then tumble it after it was complete. Even Eleanor joined in!
We then headed into the kitchen to engage with playdough. We were busy flattening and cutting it with a variety of rolling and cutting tools. We also added golf tees to use as candles to make birthday cakes for Miss Bekah and sing to her.
We then headed outside to enjoy the weather. Eleanor sat in the bouncer to play with the toys on it, Arthur, Emily, Eliza and Paige enjoyed painting with a paint brush with the watercolors or exploring them with our fingers and Dax engaged in riding bikes down the hill.
