Please note: Now that the weather is getting colder, please be sure your child has a jacket/coat that will keep them warm when we go out in the mornings and afternoons.
We started our Tuesday morning with the foam puzzles after a few of our friends asked to play with them. The puzzles are all animal themed and our friends enjoy identifying the images and figuring out where the pieces belong on their puzzle board.
We went to the garden today to see how the tomatoes were growing. Our friends all love to walk through the garden and observe the different plants in it.
Looking at the plants lead to looking at the leaves on the ground. A couple of the children would pick up one leaf at a time, while others picked up whole handfuls. A couple more brought their handfuls to the bench to add to a pile.
In the afternoon we enjoyed time in the gross motor area together. We played on the habitrail, with the big blocks, and on the soft star slide and teeter totters.
Breakfast was Whole Grain Cheerios and bananas. Wee sprout was carrots. Lunch consisted of whole wheat hummus sandwiches, pears, and carrots. Afternoon snack was toasted whole wheat bagels with cream cheese.

Good Afternoon!
**Just a reminder that we will hold a Halloween parade at 4:00 PM next Monday (October 31st). We will dress our friends in their costumes shortly before the parade and weather permitting, will walk throughout the neighborhood spreading our Halloween joy! 
Well it was our last day at swim! Our friends enjoyed this session so much and gained useful knowledge. Here’s what our friends enjoyed the most:
Max: “Jump off the diving board!”
Jackson: “Jumping off the diving board!”
Tate: “Jumping off the diving board!”
Addi: “Using the barbells.”
Maddie: “Doing chicken, airplane, pencil.”
Lulu: “When I swam all by myself.”
Lucy: “Being done with swimming.”
Back here in Wee land..
We enjoyed our indoor and outdoor spaces this morning.
In large group:
We read various stories including, “The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear”. Before reading our stories, we talked about the differences between a period, exclamation mark, and question mark. Once we discussed what each one was and how it was used, we started reading our story. I told everyone to keep an eye out for these three marks that end a sentence. After the first page, multiple hands were raised as friends shared where they recognized these marks and called them by name.
We found two examples of periods, exclamation marks, and question marks and wrote the sentences on the chalk board. “Can we keep looking for them?!”—Even though we found various examples of all three marks, we kept looking for them throughout all of our stories! (K.W.6.2b)
Breakfast– Whole grain cheerios and pears.
Lunch– Red pepper hummus on whole wheat bread, clementine’s, and cherry tomatoes.
PM snack– Hard boiled eggs and triscuits.
Wee Sprouts– Cherry tomatoes.
Have a terrific night!

We want to wish an early HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Rosemary who turns 3 tomorrow! Hope you have the best day!
Our morning was full of fine motor activities including magnatiles and pegs with peg board.
We used our imagination to build creations. Tate used the pegs to build a light saber while Lucy made a rainbow out of the pegs.
Here’s a short article about fine motor development and certain activities that can be done at home (WF as well) to strengthen our fine motor skills.
A group gathered on the music rug where we investigated ALL of our instruments. We tested them out and sorted them into categories such as maracas, wooden instruments, etc.
We hope everyone has a terrific weekend!
Breakfast– Rice cakes with cream cheese and pears.
Lunch– Scrambled eggs with cheese, kiwi/banana, and cherry tomatoes/snap peas.

A very popular activity with our friends this week has been writing in their personal journals.
They sit around the table together, flip through their notebooks for a page they want to draw on, pick out markers and crayons on their own that they want to use, and start scribbling away!
The act of scribbling can serve several useful purposes for young children, such as:
Breakfast was Kix and bananas. Wee sprout was corn. Lunch consisted of turkey and cream cheese on flatbread, bananas, and corn. Afternoon snack was graham crackers and cream cheese.
