Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend.

This morning we had a great time playing with the balls. We enhanced our hand-eye coordination skills by tossing the ball back and forth to Bekah. Arthur was even excited to join in on the fun by throwing his ball from off the habi-trail area.

Hannah and a friend worked on taking books from their designated area  to stack them on top of one anther. Hannah told teachers, they were “stacking them.”

Breakfast: Whole wheat butter toast with cinnamon and banana.

Lunch: Whole wheat butter and shredded chicken pasta, broccoli and cauliflower and pears and apples.

Snack: Whole milk yogurt with grahams.

Good Afternoon.

This morning friends were playing peek-a-boo at the fish take with one another. They would each look through the sides of the tank and just giggle at one another. Then, they would meet one another on one side. How adorable is that?!?!?!?!

We engaged in the dot markers today and had a great experience. Some friends knew just how the markers worked and what they needed to do to make colors appear on their papers and others needed a little guidance and figured things out quickly. We ALL enjoyed this special style of marker.

FRIENDS!!!!! What a lovely site to see.  

Breakfast: Whole grain brown rice cakes with peanut butter and oranges.

Lunch: Whole wheat tortilla with hummus, sweet potatoes and cantaloupe.

Good Afternoon. I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Today we engaged in the colorful rings. We enjoy putting them around our necks to wear as large necklaces, and placing them on the floor to jump on them or simply just play with them. We love to talk about what color our ring/s are as well.

Most times when we get the rings out we also get the stepping squares and the sensory water squares out to play with. All of these activities help us to enhance our fine motor, gross motor, sensory and cognitive skills.

The dramatic play area has many fun activities that we indulge in daily. We absolutely love putting on the black tap and glittery ruby red dress up shoes. Adding a purse to go with them just makes the experience that much more enticing.

Breakfast: Whole grain Cheerios and watermelon.

Lunch: Whole grain brown rice with red beans, peas and watermelon.

Snack: Whole wheat Ritz crackers and pumpkin seeds.

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers and peas.

Have a great night.

Good Afternoon.

Today we engaged in a shaving cream sensory activity that we all enjoyed. We had shaving cream with red glitter added in. We were able to choose between purple and pink water color to spruce up our shaving cream experience. After we played in the cream for a while, Ms. Bekah helped us place a white piece of paper onto the tray of shaving cream to make a print. Our creations turned out awesome!

Look for them in your child’s art cubby for you to take home and enjoy!  

We loved manipulating the wet sand today during our outdoor play. Some sat right in the sand while others sat off to the side to dig.

Friends work very hard on obtaining their balance while climbing the rocks to get to the platform of the slide. They always love the end result.  

Breakfast: Whole grain oatmeal with cinnamon and pears.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs, whole wheat peanut butter toast, sweet potatoes and watermelon.

Snack: Whole gain blue corn chips with refried bens.

Wee Sprouts: Red pepper.

Have a wonderful night.

Good Afternoon. I hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day weekend.

This morning friends were very interested in balls. Miss Bekah and a couple of our Wee Wee”s sat on the floor and rolled and gently tossed the balls to one another. This activity enhances our hand-eye coordination and sensory skills as most of the balls have different textures to them.

We then manipulated our hands and fingers in our green playdoh. We used playdoh tools to hammer, cut, and make shapes out of our doh.

Breakfast: Whole grain Cheerios and pears.

Lunch: Whole wheat tortillas, sweet potatoes and pears.

Snack: Whole wheat bagels wit peanut butter and raisins.

Wee Sprouts: Sweet potatoes.

Have a nice night.
