Happy Friday!

We worked this morning with scarves. Nahla took her scarf and wore it around her head while Rosemary, Tate, and Lucy threw their scarf up into the air as high as it would go.

Anna and Annabelle had a happy nap time. Anna practiced standing all by herself today!

For breakfast, children had eggs with cheese and grapes/strawberries. Lunch consisted of cheese tortillas, banana, and mixed vegetables. PM snack was rice cake with cream cheese.

Have a fabulous weekend.

curiosity [cu·ri·os·i·ty]

noun

a strong desire to know or learn something

Today we were inspired by a noun we highly value here at Wee Friends: curiosity! The desire to explore, observe and learn more about the world we live in is evident in the types of work we engage in every day. Our curiosity emerged in the following ways today:

We wanted to know how many days there are in the month of February and create a calendar.

We were curious about which card would match the pictures on our tiles in Lotto Bingo.

We were interested in what would happen if we put food coloring into water. What happens when you add more than one color? What happens when you add a little? When you add a lot?  What do you see?

    

   

We are curious.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Yesterday afternoon Jessica devised a game to support Math FAB K.2.1- Model addition by joining sets of objects. Friends dropped beads down the tubes and counted them as they blended in the basket.

If we blended and added the number of activities today that friends created, we would have spent our whole morning counting! It has been a whirling dervish of brain power fun!

Welcome back!

Our day began with a conversation about how we reconnect after long absences. One friend was lovingly mauled by three other friends: “Play with us! We want you to play with us! Why aren’t you playing with us?” We discussed space and time and gentle inquiries. We redirected our energies to LITERACY FAB K.3.3 and acted out Max’s Breakfast, exploring character, plot and setting.

We had a group Bob Book read and explored how to string sounds together to make words.

Friends created hide-out and car ramps. Other friends created origami and studied sharks.

Our work spreads to every corner of the Wee classroom. We utilized our great space, took our our sweet learning/play time and encouraged gentle approaches to our friends and our work.

Welcome back. –Laurie

It was a shaving cream type of morning. Friends dove into the sensorial activity using different toys to intensify their play.

Nahla clapped her hands together which cause the shaving cream to fly everywhere. We all thought that was quite funny .

Gross motor play involved the big blocks and friends jumping off of them! We counted: 1, 2, 3!

David had a blast trying to nibble on his feet while Annabelle loved rolling all around to get the toy that she wanted. Anna was all about clapping her hands today!
