WWF, 6/3/2015

Hello!

We worked on our fine motor skills this morning. Tate asked for the waffle blocks which were made available and friends flocked! While teachers are always available for help, children are getting to that stage were they like to do it themselves Smile. Through play, conversations are had about what’s going on. Nahla said, “I’m building a tower!”, while Maya hooked two blocks together and said, “I’m building a track!”

Franklin and Ruby are continuing to get acclimated to the Wee Wee environment. Our older friends LOVE talking to their baby peers. They always love getting toys for the babies! Such big helpers we have Smile.

WF Monday 6/1 The Little Moments: Helping

While it is often easy to focus on the big projects and activities that happen throughout our busy days, it is also important to recognize the little moments. Small things happen throughout each day that matter to children and those around them. Today we recognize the little moments of helping.
