HALLOWEEN PARADE: Thursday, Oct. 31 @ 3:45. Join us as we parade, in our costumes,  around the block! Fun for everyone!!!

We are so happy that Marta has come back to us!  Our ears were wide open as Marta shared stories of Italy and Africa. And one certain snake…..ask her!!!!

Our Wee week ends with continued interest in Halloween math and word books.

Doctor Finn led a team of nurses, surgeons and friends in a hospital exploration.

Friends presented Marta with an “M box” that they’ve spent the week putting together.

Friends sure are enjoying getting to know Lone Star Lizette.  LSL explained how she felt when her friends pulled her hair so much that one of her braids fell off her head. Wee Friends expressed their own ideas about pulling, pushing and the like. After Lisa read I Like Myself by Karen Beaumont, LSL sang a rendition of “Feelings”,  just like Babs.

Our FEELINGS are happiness that, with Marta’s return, we are a complete Wee Classroom! Onward we go…..Have a great weekend.

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers. Breakfast: Cereal and bananas. Lunch: Brown rice with beef, bananas and mixed veggies. Snack: Pears and cheese.

Happy Friday!

Our three E’s (Emma, Eren, Eve) gathered this morning holding hands while spinning around in a circle! They all fell to the floor at the same time and made sure to help one another up .

It was a lovely fall morning! The falling leaves are filling the backyard!

We spent most of our morning in the sandbox or riding the cars.

Eve and Emma enjoyed showing of their climbing abilities on the log house. They are so proud when they get to the top!

Miss Laurie got out the trampoline and friends waited in line for their turn.

Maya really found her feet the other day and now she loves playing with them! Tate is doing a great job at reaching for toys that he wants that may be a little out of his grasp.

We LOVE baby smiles .

For breakfast, children had cheerios and pears. AM snack was string cheese. Lunch consisted of cheese tortillas, mixed vegetables, and pears. PM snack was cottage cheese and pretzels.

Have a lovely weekend.

Good Afternoon!

We headed outside right away this morning to ensure we got at least some outside time before the rain rolled in. When we woke up from our naps this afternoon, we looked out the window to see how quickly the rain was falling from the sky!

The rain always allows us to get into our snuggly, cuddly mood .

Our baby friends are working on their movement while they’re on the floor. Soon enough, they’ll be crawling! All three of our baby friends are scooting or rolling around already! Time flies!

Eren enjoyed sitting in the cube reading and playing with the doll house.

l

“Childhood, whose very happiness is love.”

Snuggles. Hugs. Kisses. Cuddles. We all love giving and receiving these throughout the day.

For breakfast, children had cheesy eggs and grapes. Lunch consisted of soy butter on whole wheat tortillas, broccoli, and banana. PM snack was homemade applesauce (YUM!) and cheddar cheese slices.

Have a lovely evening!

After breakfast, we decided to get everyone outside before the rain came!

We embraced our outdoor classroom by creating a Halloween math circle under our tree (whose leaves are already falling!).

Across the yard, friends created a leaf collage with cardboard, leaves and glue.

Many Wee Friends have been referencing the alphabet garland hanging on the WeeWee garage. They find their own letter as well as other friend’s letters.

The sky got darker by the minute! When the first raindrops fell, we hustled inside.

Lone Star Lizette stopped by. Friends have been working really hard with Lisa and Lizette on life skills. Today Lizette had a surprise! Instead of life skills, each friend had a one-on-one with Lizette so she could share her favorite thing about each of them! There were lots of hugs and compliments. After a hearty round of “Flush and Wash”, LSL was gone.

Tomorrow Marta returns (we think!) and we can’t wait!!!!

Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Cheerios and bananas. Lunch: Whole grain flatbread with peanut butter, broccoli and pear slices. Snack: Crackers and Barbour homemade applesauce.

Happy Wednesday!

Eve and Eren had a blast on the farm trip with some of their Wee friends while the others had a great time in Wee Wee land!

Have a great night!

 

If the weather permits and we are fully staffed, Tami will be taking our youngest friends to the farm tomorrow. These friends are: Zoi, Clara, Leo, Eve, Emma, Eren and Daniel.

It was Sophie’s lion’s desire coming through in a whisper “Can we play the Wizard of Oz?”. And so our morning began. As the music played friends, one by one, joined the skip down the yellow brick road. As always, when Somewhere Over the Rainbow began, friends collected soft pillows so they could lie in the hay, beneath the rainbow.

Math FAB K.2.3 – Describe addition situations.

Lisa gathered friends to the art table to count and string beads.

Literacy FAB K.3.3 – Identify characters, settings and important events in the story.

Using two felt piece stories: Wheels on the Bus and Humpty Dumpty, friends studied characters and heard the word used to describe who they were seeing. We sang about each character riding the bus. Friends shared observations (ex: a smiling G’ma) and we chose to sing something about her: “The Grandma on the bus says “have a cookie! have a cookie! have a cookie!” The Grandma on the bus says “have a cookie!” all through the town.”

Lisa gathered friends for a story. Lone Star Lizette came over to hear the story. She  shared with us that she had a cold. Friends shared with her what to do when her nose was runny. They guided her through the process of getting a tissue all the way to washing her hands.

Have a great day!

Wee Sprouts: Celery sticks. Breakfast: Cheerios and pear slices. Lunch: Hummus on whole wheat tortillas, pineapple and corn/peas. Snack: Bananas and cheese sticks.

Good Afternoon! Happy last day of September!

Tate and Maya started off their morning with floor time! It’s amazing to watch our baby friends interact. We’re growing every single day .

Emma, Eren, and Eve ventured up the log house together this morning. This is the first time that all three friends have been up at the top without teacher help! They were so proud of themselves .

Eren pointed out that there were a ton of leaves on the ground. We went around picking up a few of our favorites. We talked about the color of each leaf we picked up.

We had a lot to choose from!

We ended the day by having Emma demonstrate what her new puppy does! Emma and her family got a brand new puppy over the weekend! Emmie sure had fun talking about her new doggie, ‘Gus’.

For breakfast, children had toast with soy butter and raisins. Lunch consisted of whole grain noodles with shredded chicken, green beans, and apples. PM snack was graham crackers and raisins.

Have a lovely evening!
