Good Afternoon!

Friends headed outside this morning where a few friends headed straight to the sandbox. David enjoyed crawling around the backyard, exploring as much as he could! Maya and Nahla used shovels in the log house to transfer rocks to various parts of the play area.

Rosemary piled up rocks in the play truck. She pushed the truck around the path before dumping out the rocks just to gather new ones!

Anna and Annabelle joined one another in the gross motor area where Annabelle beamed with pride as she stood up all by herself!

For breakfast, children had toast with butter and banana. Lunch consisted of hummus on tortillas, banana, and green beans. PM snack was string cheese and pretzels.

Have a terrific night!

This is what our Thursday looked like!

Experimenting with baking powder + colored vinegar and working on our fine motor skills with eyedroppers:

Driving to Chicago in “cars” and collaborating on puzzles:

Creating an original song with music note stickers:

And finding unique places to lay down!

Happy Thursday! –Jessica

Hello!

Wee Wee Friends joined the big kids today while they played with the parachute.

David enjoyed his time outside this morning.

For breakfast, kids had Whole Grain Cheerios and fresh Purple Porch blueberries. Lunch was farm fresh eggs, corn and fresh cantaloupe. Snack consisted of whole grain crackers and black beans.

Today has been full of exciting experiences. We brought out some activities we haven’t done in a while, like the parachute. First, we tried to keep one playground ball on the parachute. After we mastered that, we upped it to two balls! Giggles and laughs all around the circle.

Next, friends took turns running under. Friends from WWF enjoyed participating too!

A surprise source of entertainment and interest was a work crew cutting down a tree in the backyard behind WF. Friends eagerly watched as a large crane took a worker up and down. We listened to the chainsaw as it cut branches and the tree shredder as it “ate” up leaves and branches.

The misting rain kept us from going outside this afternoon, but we kept busy with a spin art project. Friends took turns squeezing various colors of paint on a piece of paper in a salad spinner and then spun away! Look for a special Father’s Day project coming home on Friday.

Have a great evening. –Jessica

Wee Sprouts: Fresh green beans. Breakfast: Hot wheat cereal and bananas. Lunch: Farm fresh eggs, whole wheat tortillas, tomatoes, green beans, watermelon and cantaloupe. Snack: Homemade popcorn with butter and grapes.

 

Good afternoon!

Today, a few of our friends pulled out the costume basket and played dress up.

Rosemary put on a princess dress and called it her bathing suit!

For breakfast, the kids had bagels with butter and pears. Lunch was whole wheat tortilla with cheese, mixed veggies, and blueberries. For afternoon snack, they had rice cakes with no-nut butter.

Family. Because Wee Frienders are intimately acquainted with their own families and have a lot of personal knowledge on the subject, family is a topic they are eager to talk about.

Today Owen brought in a special family picture book and shared it with the class. Friends eagerly asked questions about who was in the pictures and some of our younger friends shouted, “Owen!” when they saw a picture of him.

Our family bulletin board is full of pictures and drawings of the people we love:

We love sharing our lives with our friends!

Happy Tuesday! –Jessica

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers. Breakfast: Corn Chex and bananas. Lunch: Whole wheat tortillas with cheese, green beans and grapes. Snack: Toasted whole wheat bagel with cream cheese.

Hello! I hope everyone had a great Monday.

Breakfast this morning was pears and toast, lunch was cheesy noodles with apples and corn, and afternoon snack was raisons and cheese.

Here are our places. The places where we learn and explore. The places where we spend alone time and the places where we play together. The places we eat and rest and jump around.

The island, where we match shapes, and the piano, where we play notes:

The sandbox, where we play imaginary games with friends, and the front porch, where there is lots of room to pop bubble wrap:

The art table, where we mix a new batch of play dough, and the backyard, where we collect flowers:

Our places: where we learn to live and grow and love!

Happy Monday -Jessica

Have a great weekend! –Jessica
