Today was a busy day for our Wee Frienders! We spent the morning writing, sorting, listening, and experimenting.
Melinda serenaded us with some beautiful holiday songs on her accordion! Friends were excited to play the instrument themselves.
Later, we gathered for an exploration of what happens when you mix oil and colored water. Using eye droppers, friends carefully dropped colored water onto their plates of oil. We discovered that oil and water don’t mix! Friends were deliberate and focused in their work, experimenting with mixing colors and practicing gross motor skills.
We also practiced for our concert. Hope to share our songs with you tomorrow!
Have a wonderful Thursday.

Friends grabbed pillows this morning and snuggled up to read stories. A couple of our favorite books are becoming quite prominent. Tate loves a book about a gingerbread baby. Towards the end, he has a favorite part and every time it comes to that page, he says it right away: “Ha-ha he-he, I’m the gingerbread baby!”
When lunch was brought over, friends gathered at the gate. Ya think they were hungry? 
Anna crawled up next to Annabelle and chatted with her. Annabelle thought this was quite funny because the tinniest laugh came out of her!
Maya was quite focused this afternoon. For about thirty minutes, she sat with a couple phones, a bottle, blanket, and baby. She would feed the baby, talk on the phone, and wrap the baby up. She was extremely into her play.
For breakfast, children had oatmeal with honey and banana. Lunch consisted of ham and cheese on tortillas, broccoli, and crushed pineapple. PM snack was black beans and whole grain bunny crackers.
Have a terrific evening!
Sing with Bing during this daily viewing.
Happy holidays, happy holidays
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every Wee’s wish come true
Happy holiday, happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you.
If you’re burdened down with trouble
If your nerves are wearin’ thin
Park your load down the road
And come to the Wee Inn.
If the traffic noise affects you
Like a squeaky violin
Kick your cares down the stairs
Come to the Wee Inn.
Happy holiday, happy holiday
While the merry bells are ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday, happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you!!!

The swimmers warmed up their bodies by dancing to FROZEN and moving in and about the habitrail.
When they left for class, the remaining Wee Friends joined Jessica at the science table to ask the question: “What is your prediction?” or “What do you think will happen?”. It started with whole peppermint drops and oobleck (corn starch and water) and ended with pink oobleck and the disappearance of the candy.
Have a terrific day. –Laurie

The waffle blocks were a big hit this morning. Friends are really working hard to put the blocks together. Maya sat, concentrated, as she worked with putting the blocks together.
A rousing game of ring-around-the-rosie was started up by Nahla.
Tate and Maya worked together to put the trains together. They shared the different blocks with one another throughout their play experience.
Rosemary and Anna took their crack at the waffle blocks during naptime. Rosemary found two blocks that were together and she used all of her strength to rip them apart.
For breakfast, children had toast with butter and cinnamon along with oranges. Lunch consisted of whole grain noodles with kidney beans, oranges, and peas. PM snack was colby jack block cheese and whole grain bunny crackers.
Have a terrific evening.
Happy Friday!
One more week until vacation! Crazy how this year has flown by.
The big blocks were a big hit this morning as friends tried to maneuver their way throughout the gross motor area.
We dealt with problem solving this morning as friends worked with the waffle blocks. While they’re still getting the hang of putting two blocks together, sometimes they have to ask, “Help!” There are many ways the blocks can fit together so it makes it interesting from kid to kid 
. We all think extremely different!
We hit a wall this morning. A tired wall. A brief five minute snooze fest occurred as friends rested their bodies.
We grabbed a couple of pillows to help with the ‘rest’ process.
But…that soon passed and friends were running circles throughout the classroom!
For breakfast, children had oatmeal and banana. Lunch consisted of English muffins with turkey and melted cheese, peas, and oranges. PM snack was Colby-Jack block cheese and pretzels.
Have a terrific weekend!
