Baby smiles and chatter filled the house this morning.
Did you know it snowed last night? 
We headed outside all bundled and warm.
While it was a little wet outside, we were still able to play and have fun with our older Wee friends!
“Did you know that it snowed last night?”
“There was snow on my roof!”
“I ate it!”
The Wee friends came bounding out of the back door just chattering up a storm about that white stuff that visited us last night .
Eve, Eren, and Emma took turns in the swing before we had afternoon snack. They loved it!
For breakfast, children had chex and banana. Lunch consisted of hummus tortilla sandwiches, green beans, and pears. PM snack was homemade bread with butter.
Have a great night!
Per Tami’s request, please make sure that your Wee Friend has a hat and a pair of mittens that are labeled with their initials AND ones that can stay here at Wee Friends. Thank you!
What happens in the morning, before the lights come up on our Wee World? Lisa captured a few of the many areas we spend time in, to create a welcoming environment for our Wee peeps and families. And then, Ready! Steady! Off we go!
Today, when breakfast was over, when Hair Hugs had been passed out, and when all of our friends had arrived, we gathered on the music rug to discuss weight. With a scale.
How much does our body weigh? Each friend hopped on the scale to discover and record their answer. Legless Lone Star Lizette had her head weighed. That got us thinking more about our heads: the shape and the weight of them. Friends lined up to have their heads traced for our emerging skeleton (on the basement door).
Then the Ballerinas took the carpet.
Other friends gathered at the art table to explore letters, sounds and words with individual wordbooks.
We counted and sorted glass beads into Halloween molds. We played games together.
And we sang, many times over, a Wee Friends song “I Just Ate an Apple”:
“First you eat an apple and chew chew chew!
Swallow it down it becomes poo-poo!
It starts with a toot and you’re ready to go!
Run to the potty! Plop…..there it goes……”
Sung to remind our friends that THE POTTY is where we put our poos….
The lights shine bright in the Wee World.
Wee Sprouts: Celery sticks. Breakfast: Corn Flakes and bananas. Lunch: Hummus on whole grain tortillas, apple slices and green beans. Snack: Pretzels and cheese sticks.
Hello!
**We’re running low on bags for diapers so if anyone has any spares they’d be willing to donate, we’d be forever grateful 
.
Music filled the house this morning. The lovely sound of the xylophone rang in our ears. Eve pointed out the different colors that she saw too while playing her instrument.
We bundled up this morning and headed outside for a little while.
After being out for a while, rain drops began to fall which called us inside! Rain, snow, cold…in October!
Our babes are growing each day. Between starting to crawl and eating their first stages of baby food, it’s a whole new world .
Lately, we’ve been playing peek-a-boo with our baby friends. All of our other friends have joined in .

For breakfast, children had malt-o-meal and raisins. AM snack was corn. Lunch consisted of couscous with cheese, broccoli, and banana. PM snack was graham crackers with soy butter.
Have a lovely night.
Lisa welcomed Wee Friends into the classroom with a camera lens and an invitation to SMILE and start the day with joy. And a joyful day it has been.
We explored skeletons and made skeleton families.
Under the habitrail, four different works were happening, simultaneously.
We talked some more about skeleton bones and read Shake ‘Dem Bones. And then we did. Shake them bones.
Lisa outlined friend’s toe bones.
After seeing this, a few friends decided to trace their own finger bones.
Lone Star Lizette came back from Butterfly Island to help Lisa and Melinda teach Wee Friends how to get bundled up to go outside:
1) Coats on
2) Hats on
3) Mittens or gloves on last!
And with that, we were over and out and into the cold morning air!!!
Hope your day has been joyful too.
Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Bagels with cream cheese and bananas. Lunch: Cous-cous, banana/orange fruit salad and broccoli. Snack: Homemade wheat bread and apple butter.
Good Afternoon!
**Just as a reminder, please bring your child with the appropriate clothes for these chilly temps such as gloves, appropriate shoes, hat, and winter/warmer coat. Our friends don’t last a long time outside but we’d like to get out as much as possible. Thanks!
The Wee Wee band had practice this morning. These cold and chilly temps kept us inside this morning so our friends rocked out.
The combo of the piano and drums was a lovely treat to our ears 
.
Taters stayed warm in his animal fleece today .
Friends whipped up a few warm dishes for this cold weather. Children gathered in the kitchen where Eren let them know that the oven was ‘hot’.
For breakfast, children had corn flakes and banana. Lunch consisted of cheese tortillas, peas, and banana. PM snack was string cheese and crackers.
Have a great evening.
*The new swimming session begins next Tuesday. Same time.
* It’s time to bring in winter gear for Wee Friends! Heavier coats, hats and mittens. Thank you!
Today the pumpkin pound made way for the pumpkin pull. Friends worked those fine motor hand muscles as they pulled all the golf tees out! A few friends created golf tee patterns with Melinda.
Other friends pushed golf tees into Styrofoam, covered in construction paper. Later, we held them up to see the light pass through the holes.
Max asked to hear Robert Munsch’s “50 Below Zero”. It gave us a segue to incorporate Math FAB K.5.1 Make direct comparisons between warmer and cooler materials. We read the book and then found the coldest thing we could find in our classroom: a bag of ice from the freezer. We hunted around the classroom for things that were warmer and cooler than the bag of ice.
Afterward, we filled four sensory bins: two with ice and two with warm sudsy water.
When the swimmers returned we bundled up and headed outdoors. We found the thing whose temperature was nearest to the ice: the wind!
Have a great day!
Wee Sprouts: Carrots and cucumbers. Breakfast: Raisin Bran and pear slices. Lunch: Whole wheat tortillas with cheese, peas and grapes. Snack: Yogurt and pear slices.
Happy Monday!
Burrr it was cold this morning! We bundled up and put on our hats. Even with the chilly temps, friends had fun playing in the sandbox and running around the backyard.
For breakfast, children had kix and apples. AM snack was peas. Lunch consisted of homemade beef and noodles, mixed vegetables, and pears. PM snack was cottage cheese and animal crackers.
Have a great night.
The annual Pumpkin Pound began today. With kid hammers, friends pounded golf tees into a pumpkin and then, with pliers, pull them out. It’s one of the big hits of the Wee year!
Hair Hugs have become popular with our Wee Friends. Hair Hugs are hair styling sessions that, ideally, don’t pull hair, yank heads or hurt in anyway. They’re just like big happy hugs. They often result in pretty cute dos. And maybe most importantly, they leave the cheeks free and clear for good nose blows!
Lisa brought in a other passel of puzzles for friends to explore.
Literacy FAB: K. 4.7 Identify pictures and charts as sources of information…..
Before we headed out into the chilly morning, we invited friends to think about this question: “Where in our classroom (or another place) can you find information about pumpkins?”
Later, in Lisa’s small group, she asked:
If you have pumpkins on the brain, here are a few fun farms to explore!
www.thistleberryfarm.com, www.lfcornmaze.com, www.matthysfarmmarket.com
Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers. Breakfast: Corn Flakes and bananas. Lunch: Homemade beef and noodles, mixed veggies and orange slices. Snack: String cheese and apple slices.
