Good Afternoon and happy Friday!

This morning while friends were outside in the sandbox some weeds were found.  Miss Rebekah pulled out what she thought was a weed. Come to find out some of our squirrels were hiding corn in the sand.

Miss Rebekah and friends were having a conversation on where corn is supposed to  grow and friends said, “in the garden.”

What a very cool and interesting place for the squirrels to hide their corn, not too mention an interesting lesson for our Wee Wee’s to learn about.

Breakfast: Whole grain brown rice cakes and apples.

Lunch: Whole wheat tortillas and turkey lunchmeat, cucumbers and pears.

Snack: Whole wheat cheese crackers and Mozzarella string cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers.

Have a fantastic weekend.

Good Afternoon!

Our Wednesday was full of card games, water play, laughter, and budding friendships.

Summer offers up many transitions. New schools. New friends. Friends leaving for a new school. And the inconsistency is even more so given the times we’re in. But one thing is certain. Children are resilient.

“Building resilience in your children does not mean trying to toughen them up. It means working with them through struggles and being a source of loving, unconditional support.”

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with honey and fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with shredded cheese, whole wheat bread, fresh watermelon, and fresh snap peas/cucumber.

PM snack– Blue corn chips and hummus.

Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas/cucumber.

Have a wonderful night!

Good Afternoon.

Friends have been really interested in our letters that are hanging on the wall by the habi-trail slide.

We are often asked what letter a friends names in the classroom start with, and then we will point to that letter on the wall and sound it out.

Today, Ellie wanted pointed to the Z and said, “this is for Xylophone!” Miss Rebekah had a small conversation about how that Xylophone sounds like a Z but it is actually an X and then showed her where the X was on the wall.

Breakfast: Whole grain Oatmeal with honey and apples.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs, carrots and watermelon.

Snack: Whole wheat crackers with hummus.

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers.

Have a fantastic evening.

Good Afternoon!

Here’s a sneak peak into our day!

Enjoy this short Teacher Tom blog post that explains why play is crucial for children and the connection it creates later on in life.

“This is why the human animal must play, not just so that the formulas will make sense when we’re older, but so the world will make sense. The children have no idea they are learning physics any more than they know they are learning to be self-motivated learners, practicing being sociable, and acquiring the skills and habits necessary to work well with others.”

Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat tortilla, fresh apples/watermelon, and fresh carrots/cucumber.

PM snack– String cheese and fresh strawberries.

Good Afternoon.

Today Caroline and Ellie happily engaged in the Duplo blocks and the little Duplo people.

They made all kinds of neat structures and were both pretty proud of themselves.

This activity helps enhance a child’s fine motor and hand-eye coordination skills as well as building on their color and shape recognition. It also helps with building their self-esteem, as they feel proud of themselves for building the items to where their imaginations have taken them. 

We are enjoying the cooler temps outside and finding many enjoyable activities to keep our bodies and brains and busy! 

Breakfast: Whole grain Corn puffs and apples.

Lunch: Whole wheat bread with hummus, carrots and watermelon.

Snack: Whole wheat bagels with cream cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh tomatoes.

Have a nice night!
