Happy Tuesday!

Today is Paige’s last day in the WWF class before she transitions over to the WF classroom. We have loved seeing her grow from an infant to a toddler. We will miss her!

We had a very busy morning engaging in different activities. Emily and Paige enjoyed reading a book together on the reading steps. Ben was smiling as he looked through the Magna-Tiles. Eliza used a blanket to wrap her baby doll. Arthur worked on stacking different shapes on his wooden train. Paige’s goal was to make Eleanor laugh by making silly faces.

We then made our way outside to go down the slide, push around trucks in the rock area, play in the sandbox, and sit at the table with our siblings.

Breakfast: Whole grain Kix cereal with bananas.

Lunch: Whole grain wheat tortillas with peanut butter, 1/2 mozzarella cheese stick, fresh oranges, and orange bell pepper.

Afternoon Snack: Whole grain wheat bagel with cream cheese, bananas, and orange bell pepper.

Wee Sprout: Carrot chips.

Have a wonderful summer break! We will see you back in July!

Greetings!

It was a delicious morning of picking and eating from the garden!  We harvested a large radish and enjoyed the opportunity to taste it!  Most of us felt the flavor of the radish was too strong for our taste, but there were a few friends who asked for more!  The favorite garden veggies were the yellow and green pea pods!  Many friends helped to harvest them in the garden.  We talked about how to carefully hold the pod at the base and snap it off.  We looked at how the pea plant holds its self up with its small tendrils and how to be careful not to pull it down.  Everyone was very mindful of the plants…everyone wanted the plants to keep making pea pods!  We ate a full bowl of pods straight off the vine!  So nutritious!

Indoors this morning it was all about playing school!  Several friends took turns playing teacher and reading to their friends while recalling story lines and story sequence.  As the school make- believe continued, many friends happily practiced spelling and writing letters.  What an educational make believe game! This was a great example of play based learning, child driven and teacher supported.

In the art center several wee friends worked on collaborative paintings.  We put up a large paper which covered the entire easel.  Sets of partners worked together making large paintings and finding the joy in team made artwork.

In the science center a few friends began a bridge making project using magnetic connectors.  As the bridge grew, we decided to measure it.  Of course this was great motivation for making it even longer.  At its maximum length, the bridge spanned the entire science area and measure 72 inches or 6 feet.  Everyone involved enjoyed using the tape measure and finding the length of the bridge!

Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with butter and fresh apples.

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with turkey and butter, fresh peppers, and fresh strawberries/pineapple.

PM snack: Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh carrots and garden pea pods.

Have a lovely Monday afternoon!

Good afternoon!

This morning we engaged in reading books independently on the reading step, dressed up in the dress up clothes and accessories of our choosing, watched the fish swim around the tank, made music with the bells, danced to Frozen songs and felt the texture of the ball between our hands.

We then headed into the kitchen to paint at the easel.  Miss Bekah gave us red, turquoise and yellow watercolors and a medium bristle brush.  We filled our papers full of colors and even made some new colors when mixing them together on our papers.

Breakfast: Whole grain wheat toast with butter and cinnamon/sugar mixture and pear slices.

Lunch: Whole grain wheat penne pasta with black beans, fresh cantaloupe, and cucumbers.

Afternoon Snack:  Colby-Jack block cheese slices, whole grain wheat flatbread and fresh carrot chips.

Wee Sprout: Green bell pepper.

Have a great evening!

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.

Breakfast: Whole grain Kix cereal with fresh pear slices.

Lunch: Whole grain brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh banana, and cucumber slices.

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!

Good Afternoon!  This morning we got out the plastic boats from under the habi-trail to turn them into boats while singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat.  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

We then headed outside again today, before it was too hot.  Miss Linsey mixed some clay and water together so we could paint the rocks.  Emily worked on her balance skills with her Maggie’s help.

Lunch:  Farm fresh scrambled eggs with shredded cheddar cheese, whole grain wheat bread with butter, fresh carrot chips and watermelon.
