Good Afternoon!

All of our friends rolled, threw, and bounced the balls this morning. Our baby friends love the sensorial aspect of the balls. Lucy took the ball in her hand and felt the pointy spikes.

Henri took two balls in his hands and banged them together!

While the babies were taking their morning naps, Eren, Saskia, and Nora travelled into the kitchen where they used markers to make beautiful drawings. We talked about the colors that they were using along with what they were drawing.

For breakfast, children had cheesy eggs and oranges. Lunch consisted of turkey and cheese filled tortillas, broccoli, and pears. PM snack was crackers and cheddar cheese.

Have a great evening!

“Don’t cry!” said one two year old to another today. “After naptime and snack, we get our mommies back!”. There are many great moments to share today, as we make our way back to our mommies.

 

Cubes! We found them, we made them and we dissected them.

With her childhood song, “Swimming in the Swimming Hole”, Lisa prepped the swimmers with protocol and swimming strokes. “It was so much fun, I wish it wasn’t over!” expressed Aislinn after the first lesson.

 

 

Friends created a cube snake and cubed Magna Tile creations.

 

 

When the swimmers departed, a small group of friends gathered to explore/create shapes with masking tape and paint.

 

“We are playing Frozen slash Ice Age.” expressed Max.

 

 

Mel set out The Category Box and our wee-est Wees sorted objects into their appropriate category.

We set out our instruments and identified which ones had a circular shape. then friends jammed out to favorite tunes.

 

We used our rain stick to practice give and take. Give and Take. Work together. My turn, then your turn.

 

Our days fill up fast as we make our way back to mommy. Lots of learning along the way. Lots of fun along the way. And lots of anticipation. No matter how exciting a cube is, there’s nothing better than mommy. (Daddies too. )

Have a great day.

Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

We all enjoyed looking out the window this morning as a tow truck was hooking a car across the street. Friends thought it was quite interesting .

Eren requested magnatiles this morning so a few friends followed him into the kitchen. They also got the cars out to play with.

Henri and Eren sat and played trains this morning. Eren showed Henri how to hook the trains to each other.

Tate and Lucy had a blast trying to crawl up the slide. They both laughed as Lucy slid back down the slide .

For breakfast, children had english muffins and raisins. Lunch consisted of pasta with marinara sauce, mixed vegetables, and mixed fruit. PM snack was fresh strawberries and string cheese.

Have a terrific evening!

• The new swimming group will be pulling out tomorrow (Tues 2/25) at 9:30am.
• Tami has cleaned out all the cubbies and placed your Wee Friend’s artwork and other materials in a plastic baggy. Enjoy their creations and take whatever is in the baggy home! Thank you!

A large group of friends spent more time gazing at their reflections and making observations about what they saw.

Per MATH FAB K.4.1: Identify and describe common geometric shapes; we studied our pattern blocks and created circular spin art.

The sunshine BECKONED a small group of Wee Friends outdoors and we reveled in the icy backyard.

Hope you are having a great day.

After Lisa read Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, we invited friends to come to the table to look in a mirror, and a less clear piece of aluminum foil. “What do YOU see?” was the question we asked. 

 

 

“He scared me.”   —    “No I didn’t.”

“She hurt my feelings.”   — “She grabbed this out of my hand and I had it first.”

It sure makes sense to look in a mirror and describe what we see. We talked a bit today about the other ways we SEE things DIFFERENTLY. And what we can say when one friend sees it one way, and we see it another way. Friday’s Big Thluths.

 

 

Have a terrific weekend.

Just a couple smiles to end your Thursday .

Have a great evening. Stay dry!

Happy Birthday Zoi! Today, Zoi turns three!

Rain. Hmmm. Well it gave friends lots to explore today. Among the many Wee learning moments was an exploration that started with rainy books. Lisa message boarded which animals DON’T like the rain. We created rain sounds with instruments and, after Elliott suggested that ants don’t like rain, we marched, ducked, counted, played our instruments and belted out “The Ants Go Marching”.

 

A few older friends spent their morning assembling Unifix Cubes. “It’s as long as the earth!”, “I’m going to count to one hundred thousand.” and “It’s very huge!” were among the observations friends shared as they created.

Stay dry.

Hello!

The Wee Wee book train came rollin’ through! Friends enjoyed reading stories with teachers and each other this morning.

A request was made for some music. Between the xylophones, pianos, and drums, it was rocking in here!

We were all cheesing as we went down the slide! Lulu and Eren raced down the slide with their arms up in the air.

With the assistance of her friends, Maya made it all the way up the habitrail for the first time. Just by her smile, you could tell she was a bit happy .

For breakfast, children had toast with raisins. Lunch consisted of soy butter on bread, corn, and banana. PM snack was graham crackers and raisins.

Hope everyone had a relaxing day .
