Nothin’ like takin’ a few laps in the rain.

Stay dry! –Jessica

Have a terrific night!

Yesterday the Wee Friends classroom got a brand new set of UNO cards. Today we asked the question: what should we do with the old tattered and faded deck?

Let’s make art!

One of the great things about emergent curriculum is the ability to utilize a variety of materials when the opportunity arises. We set up paper, glue and the old UNO cards and then let the Wee Frienders create! Throughout this process, conversation flowed around the colors and numbers on the cards, with friends trading with each other to get the specific cards they wanted for their work.

You never know where children’s creativity will take them. Owen made a sun with the yellow UNO cards with wild cards in the middle and was very proud of his work:

In large group today we began discussing family and answered the question: What does family mean to you? Over the next few days we will be talking about different types of families and figuring out similarities/differences between our own families. If you have a family photo to bring in it would be helpful; we can add it to our family wall!

Stay cool in this heat and have a great night. –Jessica

Today was a day full of activity! One of our morning explorations was driven by a question from Elliott and Owen: how far can a link chain go?

Using ALL of the links, they began constructing a chain starting at the housekeeping loft…

Down the stairs…

and to the basement!

We also read a Wee Frienders favorite, This is Not My Hat. After reading the story, we decided that we wanted to make our own hats. After an origami hat lesson, our heads were decked out in stylish paper hats.

Have a wonderful afternoon. –Jessica

Afterwards, friends had a great time in the house down by the new car track. A few friends enjoyed opening the window and playing peek-a-boo with their peers!

A few of our friends sat with Miss Jessica and some older Wee Friends this morning outside. They worked with a card game that Miss Jessica invited friends to play.

Nahla of course did her favorite activity outside: riding the red bike!
