When you listen carefully, friends use measurement language all the time: “Mine tower is taller!” “I have more pea pods than you!” “A billion is more than 7,000.” When we hear language of value being used we jump in and keep the conversation flowing toward measurement facts but not necessarily measurement judgment. A sometimes tricky social life skill! Attached article has great ideas for implementing measurement words and work! Have a great day. –Laurie

Have a terrific night!
Today friends discovered that materials we usually work without outside can ALSO be played with INSIDE! Some friends thought that the sensory table contained Moon Sand. Other friends pointed out that this wasn’t moon sand because it doesn’t stick together! It was also a different color. Moon sand is grey!
Friends poured and scooped and sifted the regular sand, making everything from “a sand castle” to “vanilla ice cream”.
Back in the habitrail some friends jumped from the blocks. Tape was put on the ground so we could count how far we jumped!
Have a great Monday! –Jessica
Wee Sprouts: Cauliflower/broccoli. Breakfast: Toasted whole wheat bagels with peanut butter and oranges. Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with black beans and butter, fresh tri-colored carrots and orange slices. Snack: Whole milk yogurt and a fruit delivered from the Purple Porch this afternoon!
Happy Friday!
**How time has flown! Just as a reminder, WWF will be closed Friday, April 3 in observance of Good Friday. Thanks!
We want to wish Nahla a happy early 2nd birthday! Nahla turns two years old tomorrow! Hope you have a great birthday weekend! We love you!
We started our Friday with a little dancing. Friends moved their bodies to music. Maya swung her arms back and forth while stomping around. Annabelle joined in by waving her hands and bouncing up and down.
Children were given the option to go into the kitchen and paint. It quickly turned into a great sensory experience. Some of us chose to paint the paper while a few of us took this opportunity to indulge in our sense of touch!
When prompted as to what friends were painting, Nahla replied, “A lion! It says roarrr!”
Lucy used pink and purple paint and replied, “Dolphin! I swim with dolphins!” She’s been on somewhat of a dolphin kick lately 
.
This afternoon, Maya let teachers know that she would like to play with the waffle blocks. She lined them up and said, “I’m building a tower! It’s so funny!” Friends soon joined in on the waffle block fun.
It was a loving day.
For breakfast, children had english muffins with cream cheese and banana. Lunch consisted of golden pea butter on tortilla, peas, and apples. PM snack was string cheese and goldfish.
Have a lovely weekend.
In our Wee Friend Early Childhood environment, the face of friendship is as varied as our friends themselves! We see how the journey of making friends offers the cultivation of comfort, language, a collaborative spirit and FUN! Here are some of the ways we see friendships forming and being celebrated at Wee Friends.
A good book is a GOOD friend!
A reunion.
A comforting whisper of an idea during Charades.
Learning to read.
Sharing advice on what to do when a cheese cracker is stuck in your teeth.
Lovie comfort.
First name introductions.
Bonding in the loft.
Collaborating. Discussing. Listening. Flexing, explaining and executing vision.
Empathy. Making sure Dollie is comfy too.
Laughing.
Wee Sprouts: Cauliflower/broccoli. Breakfast: Malt-O-Oats and apple slices. Lunch: Whole wheat bread with organic almond butter, PPC carrots and bananas. Snack: Cottage cheese and graham crackers.

Jessica has been bringing in stacks of books from the library. When one pile has been read, re-read and discussed, she returns the books and comes in with a new delicious, juicy stack to read. When friends find out she has a new stack, they go nuts. “Read the library book!” we hear. This morning, with a new stack of library books within their line of vision, most of our Wee Friends sat for 30+minutes to listen to Jessica read book after book.
