The snow created a slow start today. Friends trickled in and got busy with work and play.

We continue to explore red/green/yellow and what they symbolize on a stop light. We also wrote the words they represent (ex: Go!) Mel invited friends to explore heavy/light objects and the different sounds they create when dropped on a cookie tin. Friends negotiated sharing toys, measured each other’s height and danced to Melinda’s nursery rhyme medley on the piano.

Hope you are having a great day. –Laurie

Good Afternoon!

After breakfast, friends headed out of the kitchen and started their day off! Between baby toys and crawling everywhere (we’re getting quite active), we all had a busy Tuesday morning!

Eren requested his favorite book as of late. We are LOVING Leonardo .

Smiles lit up our day. Even with the warmer temperatures, it was quite dreary. (However we would much rather have it than snow!)

Tate: “Henri, I’m so happy to see you. I had a great time on vacation.”       

Henri: “I’m so glad!”

(Hugging takes place)

Tate: “Oh..I like your toy!”

After nap time, our band session occurred. Our favorites were the piano and xylophone.

Active. Fun. Challenging. We love the habitrail!

Eren started his afternoon off by heading over to the music area and counting the rungs on the wall. “One, two, three…”

For breakfast, children had kix and oranges. Lunch consisted of hummus filled tortillas, pears/oranges, and green beans (we devoured the green beans!). PM snack was pears and cheddar cheese slices.

Have a great (snowy) evening!

Happy Birthday, (one day late!) Sloaners! Sloane was 5 months old when she came to Wee Wee. Yesterday she turned FOUR!!!!! We love you, Sloane!

 

 

 

The Wee Traffic Song

(to the tune of ABC’s)

“Red light, red light, stop, stop, stop.

Green light, green light, go, go, go.

Yellow, light, yellow light, slow the car down.

Yellow light, yellow light, slow the car down.

Red light stop and green light go.

Yellow light, yellow light, slow, slow, slow.”

 

We are spending time this week identifying common signs and symbols (Literacy FAB K.1.21). We also spent time today talking about patterns. First with foam blocks, then with Do-A-Dots.

 

“This is my book. About cats and dogs. It has purple dots.” – Eve

A few friends finished their banjos by applying the neck, the bridge and the string.

 

The swimmers reported great fun this morning. We heard “My toes touched the bottom of the pool!”, “I got my head wet!” and “I jumped in three times!”.

Hope you are having a great day. –Laurie

Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Henri and Lucy spent some quality time this morning crawling around and playing with different toys. They loved chasing after balls that teachers rolled across the room.

Maya and Lucy waited patiently this morning while Miss Marty got their bottles ready.

This afternoon, dress up was the name of the Wee Wee game! Lucy and Henri tried on hats while Maya tried to put on play shoes.

Lulu and Saskia read many books. Lulu really enjoyed ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ today .

For breakfast, children had toast with soy butter and pears. Lunch consisted of whole grain noodles with kidney beans, mixed vegetables, and mixed fruit (pineapple, blueberries, strawberries, and banana).  PM snack was graham crackers and string cheese.

Hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy the awesome weather tonight!

Here are a few pictures taken throughout the day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AISLINN! Tomorrow our Wee Peach turns FOUR!!!! And Happy Birthday, Tami! Tomorrow Tami Barbour turns……we’ll leave that up to her to share!!!

Fun Friday highlights:

• Friends, measured, poured, stirred and baked pumpkin bread. They message boarded what happens, temperature wise, when it comes out of the oven.
• Our Wee-est Wees matched and rhymed alphabet letters.
• We created Aislinn’s bday card.
• We explored the differences between a trumpet, banjo, piano and guitar by listening to recordings of them.
• We entered phase two of our banjo creation: painting the pot.
• And we played outside. In the glorious warm sunshine.

Have a great birthday weekend Aislinn and Tami!

Good Afternoon!

Greetings from somewhere warm! Tate…bring us back some warm weather please! See you next week buddy!

Our morning consisted of shaving cream. Messy. Sensory. White. Fun. Experimental.

Eren started a trend. When he clapped his hands, he found that the shaving cream flew into the air in little pieces. Of course, other friends started in too. Eren, Saskia, Lulu, and Nora were clapping their hands so hard that it looked like it was snowing inside!

Smiles brighten our day. Even with smocks, we were a tad messy. But hey, that means we had fun!

We were BIG fans of books this afternoon.

The teacher books have been a hit lately. We have a few favorites including ‘Leonardo the Terrible Monster’ and ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’.

For breakfast, children had kix and banana. Lunch consisted of tuna salad, pita bread, strawberries, and mixed vegetables. PM snack was cottage cheese and crackers.

Have a lovely evening!

P.S…supposedly highs are supposed to be in the low 40’s tomorrow. Hopefully Spring is rearing it’s head .

Lisa invited friends and dollies to join her on the music rug this morning. They sang “Rock-A-Bye” and read the Robert Munsch favorite Love You Forever. They spoke of siblings new and grown.

Our banjo creations got underway as we covered balloons with Paper Mache.  We learned that the part of the banjo we were creating is called either the “body” or the “pot”.

 

Friends enjoyed another game of matching and sand block letter exploration.

 

Have a great day!

Hello!

Friends were cookin’ up a storm this morning! The play kitchen is an excellent place for friends to take what they see in real life and transform it into their play. Eren always let us know when something is ‘hot’! Lucy enjoyed taking a spoon and stirring her mixture in her bowl.

Lulu sat with her baby dolls as she fed each of them a bottle. Lucy and Nora played dress up together. The housekeeping area is always occupied with friends. We love pretending!

Lucy ended her afternoon by working on her walk. This pretty little lady will soon be walking..we just have a feeling . She was so excited about the concept of walking, her smile lit up her face!

For breakfast, children had eggs with cheese and raisins. Lunch consisted of whole grain rice with cheese and chicken, peas, and bananas. PM snack was pretzels and cheese.

Have a wonderful evening!
