Welcome back!

After a few days off because of our lovely Indiana weather, we got right back into the swing of things!

We officially welcomed our newest friend Henri today! He had a fantastic first day as a Wee Wee!

The habitrail was the happenin’ place to be this morning. For our younger friends, it challenges us. Our older friends set the example for our babes. It’s a lovely thing Smile.

Since we had a late start, breakfast was not served. Lunch was pasta with marinara sauce, mixed veggies, and mixed fresh fruit. PM snack was cheddar cheese slices and crackers.

Have a lovely evening. Stay warm!

We re-entered the Wee world quietly, excited to see one another and glad that everyone made it safely through the last few days of winter weather.  The Blue Bus has been rescheduled for Friday morning.

WF Closed Today 1/27/14

We tried to stay open for you guys, but we will have to CLOSE TODAY. I am so sorry for the late announcement, but both of our opening teachers have gotten stuck trying to get to work today. They are both in town people and the roads/driveways are drifted shut. So, in the interest of safety of my staff, I have to close today. Plan on WF being closed tomorrow also, since the extreme weather predicted for Tuesday is not safe for travel either.

My apologies,

Tami

Happy Friday!

Since we had a late start to our day, we had a short morning. Anytime our routine gets messed up a little, we all have a hard time adjusting. Even with the late start, we had a great end to our week!

Sadly, it was our last day with Emma Claire. Come Monday, she’ll move next door to Wee Friends as we welcome Henri. Emma has grown leaps and bounds since she first started here at Wee Wee Friends in July of 2012. Not only is her vocabulary a mile long but her “thank you’s”, random hugs, and dancing ability will be so missed! Thankfully, she’ll have her Grandma (Mel) and sister Sophia over there to keep her company. We’ll miss seeing you everyday James family!

Have a great weekend. Hope everyone stays warm!

Friday, WF on a 10:00 delay

In keeping with our closing policy, WF is on a 10:00am delay for Friday 1/24/14.

A full day closing will be texted/emailed by 8:00am if the winter storm necessitates closing all day. I will make that decision after I see what falls overnight and whether the roads are being reported as drivable (or not!).

Stay safe and warm!

Good Afternoon!

Right after breakfast this morning, Emma headed up a second breakfast in the kitchen! As the main chef, she made cake for breakfast! Eren agreed with this idea by saying, “Mmmm…cake!”

Friends grabbed each others hands as they twirled around in circles dancing to the music that was playing.

Lu-Lu and Lucy spent time in the kitchen where they worked with buckets while Eren and Emma sat in chairs and read some of their favorite books.

Happy kids= happy day!

Lucy made her way up through the habitrail today. She loved standing at the window and watching what was happening outside (snow of course)!

IMG_3631IMG_3636

For breakfast, children had corn flakes and banana. Lunch consisted of tuna, tortillas, apples, and kidney beans. We ALL loved the kidney beans. Our friends finished them all up! PM snack was rice cakes with soy butter.

Have a lovely night! Stay warm!

**The portfolio still is not working so here are some extra pictures Smile.

WF Thursday 1/23

016

Our older friends have been studying the four layers of the earth. Today, we made a volcano erupt! We learned about baking soda and vinegar and what happens when they get mixed together. After watching many friends enjoy touching the ice cold lava, we continued our science experiment but next, mixed water and corn starch.

We made water color designs by blowing through straws.

We built a family house, assembled lots of puzzles, rhymed, rhymed and rhymed some more, and talked about bats.

We love, we love, we love, we love,

We love, we love, we love, we love…

BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!

More on that later.

Have a great day.

Happy Wednesday!

**There is no photo album today. We are having technical difficulties. Hoping to have it up and running tomorrow. Thanks!

It was a fantastic lounging day for our friends! We can’t wait for spring to arrive so we can go outside! Our friends are becoming great self regulators. When their bodies are becoming tired, we lay down and take a nice little rest.

Eren, Saskia, and Lu-Lu headed into the kitchen where they worked together to paint a mural! We used red, pink, and white paint and our end result was beautiful.
