Yesterday afternoon, a Wee Friend was using the stacking cakes to drum on any surface she could find. After several classroom areas were explored, Melinda gathered bongo drums and rhythm sticks, invited friends to join her on the music rug and a musical exploration began.
Today, we hid out, made measurement predictions and acted out a musical book. Have a terrific day. –Laurie

Friends took to the kitchen this morning to paint. Lucy, Nahla, and Tate worked for quite some time using different colors of paint. Tate enjoyed painting his hand and then transferring the paint to the paper.
After naptime, we learned about static electricity. Friends took the capes and put them over their head. When they took them off, we noticed that their hair would stick straight up!
We met our newest friend today! David will be six months soon. He visited with his mommy so that he could get acclimated this afternoon. Annabelle welcomed David and they spent some time on the floor together. They should become great friends since they are only two days apart! 
For breakfast, children had cheerios and strawberries. Lunch consisted of cheese tortillas, kiwi, and mixed vegetables. PM snack was string cheese and strawberries.
Have a fantastic night!
It’s a question that many friends begin with before they share information. “Guess What?” gives us information about the motivation behind Wee Friend initiated works. It gives us insight into how friends make personal connections in the classroom: “I flew on an airplane one time!” So Guess What? When we placed plastic ants in a sensory bin filled with rice, we had no idea that the colony cones we made would eventually become maracas or binoculars. And guess what? It’s totally how our Wee days unfold. We are listening and engaging and following our friends as they create. And guess what else? It’s a super great way to learn. Have a great day. –Laurie
PS: Guess What? The Purple Porch Co-op brought us red bananas! Super cool!
Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers and carrots. Breakfast: Cheerios and red bananas. Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat flatbread, mixed veggies and kiwi/red bananas. Snack: Mozzarella cheese sticks and pretzels.
Happy Monday!
Hope everyone had a terrific holiday break! Here’s to 2015! 
We spent today getting back into our routine. Our friends were so excited to see one another! With the snow on the ground, we camped inside for the day. Cars, trains, and books occupied our morning!
For breakfast, children had toast with butter and cinnamon along with apples. Lunch consisted of whole wheat noodles with kidney beans, apples, and corn. PM snack was Colby Jack cheese and blueberries.
Have a great night!
A Wee Welcome to 2015 and a Wee Welcome to Saskia, our newest Wee Friend. How happy we are that both have arrived.
We’ve spent the day reacquainting ourselves with one another. We implemented Literacy FAB K.1.9 (Record information using objects and pictures) to hear vacation (and original!) stories. First, Jessica invited friends to create story dice and tell stories (a few of our friends narrated sequentially: beg/middle/end) about the pictures they saw on the dice. We also played a Seasonal Matching game in which friends first told the story of what they saw on the card and then matched it to the appropriate corresponding cup.
And as is always the case, stories unfolded in the work friends created independently and with one another.
Our 2015 story has a happy beginning!
Enjoy the sunshine. –Laurie
Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Whole wheat bread with butter and apple slices. Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with red beans and butter, apple slices and corn. Snack: Yogurt and a PPC fruit delivery.
