Good afternoon!
This morning we engaged in different activities by ourselves and with friends. Eleanor watched herself through her mirror toy. Emily and Paige enjoyed building together with Magna-tiles. Ben and Eliza sat at the play kitchen table together. Arthur rolled his wooden car down the ramp and Dax sat on Miss Bekah’s lap to listen to books.
We made our way outside to ride the teeter totter with friends, practice balancing on the wooden course, use our imagination in the housekeeping area, throw balls into the hoop, play with dragons at the table, and color with markers at the art center.

Lunch: Whole grain brown rice with shredded chicken, fresh watermelon slices, and corn.

This morning Miss Tina brought out the waffle blocks from the kitchen for us to build. We all sat together and worked on our own building creation.
Some of us then headed over to engage with the musical shakers and jingle bells. Friends enjoyed marching around the classroom while making their own music while shaking their bells and shakers. Paige even sang her own song while she was marching.
We then headed outside to enjoy some fresh air and engage in our favorite activities.

Good Afternoon!
Everyone has been feasting on yellow snow peas from the garden! The pea plants started producing this week and have been giving us copious amounts of sweet little yellow pea pods which Wee Friends just can’t get enough of! As we were all eating peas in the garden Bo noticed a strange object in the garden bed. We found that it was the shell of a bean that had sluffed off of the new bean leaves as they emerged. Everyone was interested in looking at the new growing bean plants and searching for more shells after that. What a delicious and nutritious garden learning day!
Katherine was very into her imaginative birthday this morning. She carefully sliced pieces and put them onto plates for her friends and teachers. She showed us all how we could best “pretend” to eat the cake. She said she was pretending all the teachers were turning three, but that was because it was “just pretend”.
Breakfast– Whole grain cheerios with fresh strawberries.
Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat bread, fresh strawberries/banana, and fresh cucumber/pepper.
PM snack– Air popped popcorn with butter and raisins.
Wee Sprout– Fresh pepper/cucumber.
Have a lovely night.

Good Afternoon!
This morning we were very intrigued by what the squirrel was doing, so we stood at the window to watch. We first noticed him hanging from the neighbors bird feeders. He then scampered into the garden under some plants and we could barely see him. He then found a nut and enjoyed eating it in the grass. We had so much fun watching him.
We then enjoyed listening to some new teacher books. Our friend, Daniel, from the other classroom and his family donated some books he has outgrown to both classrooms. We have really enjoyed listening to the teachers read them to us. Thank you for thinking of us.
After working on a special surprise in the kitchen with Miss Tina, we all headed over to roll or toss our balls with Miss Bekah. We worked on listening for our names as Miss Bekah called them to let us know it was our turn to roll or toss our ball to her.
We then headed outside to get some fresh air and engage in our favorite activities. We rocked on the teeter totters with a friend, cooked in the play kitchen, looked for bugs around the garden, drew with markers at the art table, hopped on the stepping stones, worked on our balancing while walking on the balance beam and went down the slide. What a busy morning!
Breakfast: Whole grain Kix cereal with fresh bananas.
Lunch: Whole grain wheat tortillas with peanut butter, 1/2 slice of cheddar cheese, fresh pear slices, and peas.
Afternoon Snack: Whole grain wheat bagels with butter and cinnamon/sugar mixture and fresh kiwi.
Wee Sprout: Carrot chips.
Have a terrific evening!

Good Afternoon!
Loose parts are a common activity lately in our classroom! Children love getting to explore a mixture of materials without any set rules or procedure. The materials are made available to them and depending on the child’s way of thinking and processing of events, children use the materials in very different ways! We also added new trays and that always adds a new and interesting dynamic to the activity.
We beat the rain and thankfully got lots of outside time this morning. The bugs were out and about and several roly polies were found! Children sure did get out some energy as most kids spent the first few minutes running around the outdoor environment. The cool air was a nice change the last few days.
Breakfast– Toasted oatmeal squares with fresh watermelon.
Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat flatbread, block cheddar cheese, fresh strawberries/cantaloupe, and fresh cucumber/green beans.
PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh green beans/cucumber.
Have a wonderful night!

**Wee Friends will be closed for summer vacation starting Wednesday, June 28th through Friday, July 7th. We’ll reopen Monday, July 10.
Today several friends where excited to explore straws in the art center and come up with varying ideas about how to used them. Some taped them together to make shapes. The most popular idea was to create puppets out of tape straws and paper. As one friends began to to this many other wanted to try too. Everyone put their own ideas into the puppet making. It was fun to watch what each other did and combine ideas in an almost collaborative puppet making project.
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and banana.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with butter and kidney beans, fresh watermelon, and fresh cucumber/pepper.

Happy Friday!
Emily asked Miss Bekah for the Bear Hunt song. After listening to it, she asked for the We’re Going On A Bear Hunt book by Michael Rosen. While she was reading it, we acted out the motions for each page like we do when listening to the song.
We then headed outside to enjoy another beautiful day! We sat on the bench around the tree, rode bikes down the hill and engaged with the dinosaurs in the sandbox.
Breakfast: Whole grain brown rice cakes with cream cheese and fresh pear slices.
Lunch: Hummus on whole grain wheat bread, fresh cucumber slices and bananas.

Good Afternoon Families!
This morning we all had a wonderful time at the “Lemonade Stand”. This activity will be back tomorrow morning. Even though this imaginative play area was opened all morning, friends stayed to play so long that many of us have not gotten a turn yet! We are always thrilled to see young learners so engaged and happy to keep an activity going as long as interest persists. Our yellow tinted water in combination with our lemons and lemon slices seemed so real it was like we were actually making lemonade, mixing it and pouring it for our friends. One friend even created and performed a lemonade party song, complete with dance moves, for everyone at the table!
To help with our Wee Friends that were waiting for a chance to make lemonade, we also created an ice cream shop with play dough. We talked about pretending that we were different vendors selling summer treats next to one another.
Breakfast: Chex cereal with fresh watermelon.
Lunch: Brown rice with shredded chicken, fresh strawberries/banana, and cucumbers/green beans.
PM Snack: Whole wheat crackers with raisins/seeds/peanuts.
Wee Sprouts: Fresh green beans and cucumbers.
Have a wonderful afternoon!
