Happy November!

**Just as a heads up, Wee Wee Friends will be closed Thursday, November 28th and Friday, November 29th for Thanksgiving break. Thanks!

Friends gathered by the ballet mirror this morning as they sat on the blocks singing into the mirror! Emma’s favorite colored block was yellow! Each friend did a good job at taking turns with different colored blocks.

Awesome baby smiles ended our week.

After a whole lot of rain yesterday, we went outside to a wet and soggy backyard! A friend pointed out that the tree has lost almost all of its leaves!

We jumped, jumped, jumped on the trampoline. We’re getting better and better at waiting in the line for our turn. It’s a hard concept .

The afternoon was spent in the habitrail area and reading stories. There are a couple of stories that we have been LOVING lately!

For breakfast, children had toast with butter and raisins. AM snack was peas. Lunch consisted of tortillas with melted cheese and refried beans, oranges, and corn. PM snack was graham crackers and string cheese.

Have a lovely weekend!

Trampoline Friday! After countless trick-or-treat stories, friends enjoyed jumping around! And then it was back to business.

Have a terrific weekend.

Wee Sprouts: Broccoli. Breakfast: Corn Flakes and Craisins. Lunch: Refried/cheddar quesadillas, apple/pineapple fruit salad and corn. Snack: Peanuts and crackers.

Happy Halloween!

Our day started with Penguin Tate! He enjoyed his costume and so did his friends!

With the rain coming down all day long, we didn’t get a chance to go outside . However, friends headed to the kitchen where they did water play. Our baby friends had some bonding time this morning!

For breakfast, children had cheerios and banana. Lunch consisted of homemade cheese pizza, mixed vegetables, and apples. PM snack was hummus with crackers.

Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Sadly, there will be no Wee Parade today! Nevertheless, we’ve been celebrating BIG today and from your friendly Wee Staff…..

…and your delicious Wee Peeps….we wish you a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Wee Sprouts: Celery sticks. Breakfast: Home made whole wheat toast with butter. Lunch:and snack:

Happy Wednesday!

Smiles filled the Wee Wee air on this fall day. Can you believe tomorrow is Halloween?! Where does the time go?

It’s amazing to watch our friends day by day learn new words, get bigger, and explore all of the possibilities that life has to offer. Why shouldn’t we be smiling .

For breakfast, children had oatmeal with cinnamon (YUM) and banana. AM snack was peas. Lunch consisted of egg casserole with bread, banana, and mixed vegetables. PM snack was fresh bread with soy butter and string cheese.

Have a great evening! Happy Halloween Eve!

SPECIAL NOTE: There is a 100% chance of rain tomorrow! Please bring your child’s Halloween costume in a bag when you come to school tomorrow. If the Parade is not possible, we will keep the costumes in the bag throughout the day and they will be ready for you at pick up. Thank you!

Well, we all agree that boys can be ballet dancers. Today a similar question came up after reading Sloane’s magical FABULOUS book: Brontorina by James Howe. In this book, Brontorina, a dinosaur, KNOWS in her heart that she is a dancer. But can she dance? So we asked that question and furthermore “Can you be whatever you dream of being?”

Each friend answered the question by sharing with us who/what they chose to be for Halloween. We wrote their answer on a piece of paper and then they drew a picture of it.

Lisa numbered brown paper bags 1-10. Each friend chose a bag and filled it with that many classroom materials.

Lone Star Lizette made an appearance to discuss Trick or Treat safety with friends.

Can we be whomever we dream of being? Read Brontorina. You’ll see.

Wee Sprouts: Mixed raw veggies. Breakfast: Corn Flakes and Craisins. Lunch: Farm fresh egg casserole, fresh pineapple and peas. Snack: Homemade wheat bread with peanut butter.

 

Good Afternoon!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Maya, Tate, and Lucy are continuing to amaze every day. Between getting our first baby tooth, eating baby food, and scooting across the classroom, we’re loving where this path is leading and so excited to see what the next few months hold for these spectacular babes .

As we headed outside where it ended up being a little bit colder than we thought, friends spent most of their time driving the cars. The everyday actions of friends continue to be the same. Get the car. Drive as fast as possible down the hill. Look back at teachers and friends with the biggest smile. Repeat.

Maya and Lucy kept each other company while the older kids slept. They loved watching the fish swim in the tank!

For breakfast, children had raisin bran and apples. AM snack was corn. Lunch consisted of turkey slices, cheddar cheese, tortillas, corn, and banana. PM snack was yogurt and animal crackers.

Have a great night!

According to many of our ballerinas, the answer is NO. No way. So that got us talking. And researching.

We discovered many boy ballet dancers and talked about the strong bones and bodies it requires for boys and girls to be ballet dancers. We wondered: Does the ND quarterback take ballet? Do soccer players have to have strong bodies? We compared ballet dancers to athletes and discovered they have a lot in common.

Tree bones were being cut down in a house nearby. Friends heard the truck and Melinda led them out to watch.

Our stepping logs help our bones grow and our bodies find balance.

Wee bones growing and Wee brains blossoming.

It was reported that friends had a terrific first swimming session! Have a great day.

Wee Sprouts: Sweet peppers. Breakfast: Cereal and pear slices. Lunch: Tortillas and turkey, bananas and broccoli. Snack: Yogurt and cranberries.

Happy Monday!

Here are a few pictures that were taken throughout the day!

For breakfast, children had kix and apples. AM snack was peas. Lunch consisted of whole grain pasta with marinara sauce, broccoli, and pears. PM snack was cheddar cheese and pretzels.

Have a great night!

*Fall 2013 farm fees are also due on Friday.

*All of the above info will be hanging on your Wee Friend’s cubby.

THANK YOU!

A Wee Friend parent dropped his child off this morning. When we asked him how his day was going, he replied: “Just pursuing happiness.” In truth, he said, he had been reading the Declaration of Independence and the phrase stuck in his head. We thought it seemed fitting for the way we spend our Wee days: pursuing and finding happiness: intellectually,  socially and emotionally.

Social happiness, sharing the ballet bar.

Intellectual problem-solving happiness: This Little Person has lost his kitty. What should he do?

Happiness when feeling comforted.

Happiness with the freedom of being four.

Literacy happiness.

Happiness in the act of creating.

Happiness at having important jobs to do and feeling valued.

Wee Friends….and the Pursuit of Happiness. We got it down!

Hope YOUR day’s pursuit of happiness has been fruitful.

Wee Sprouts: Green bell peppers. Breakfast: Cereal and banana. Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with marinara, pear slices and salad with French dressing. Snack: Roasted pumpkin seeds and Goldfish.
