While the swimmers were away we scrubbed the outside baby dolls. A few friends worked on their Word Books, exploring favorite words that they use a lot. Our Halloween banner is almost complete. Have a great day! –Laurie

WF Monday 10/27 Science Comfort

*Blue Bus did not come today! It’s been rescheduled for Friday morning.

002

How do you create sensorially comforting science experiments?

1) In a saucepan, combine 5c water, 2 1/2 c salt, 3T cream of tarter and 3T food coloring.

2) Cook on low heat.

3) As it cooks, slowly stir in 10T of cooking oil and 5c of flour. Add your favorite food coloring, and holiday spices (we used Apple Pie Allspice)

4) Cook and stir until no longer sticky.

5) Plop onto a baking sheet and knead like bread. (Careful! It’s hot!)

6) Let cool sufficiently, but serve it up warm.

7) Sing a soft homemade lullaby, or play a tune as your Wee Friend kneads the warm Play-Do, breathes in the aroma of the Play –Do and S-L-O-W-S      D-O-W-N……..

Good Afternoon!

**If everyone could make sure that each day their child has the appropriate coat as well as hats, gloves, shoes, etc. for the weather, we’d greatly appreciate it! Smile–we want all of our friends to be snug as a bug in a rug (and warm).

Today, we wished Rosemary Jane a very happy 1st birthday! We love you!

Anna was all over the place today. She’s working on going from the sit up position to her crawling position. She’s starting to put one hand in front of the other and move forward Smile. It’s making her quite happy!

All we could say this morning was, “Burr!” It was quite chilly outside this am. So much so that we headed inside a little earlier than usual. However, we still got quite a bit of vitamin D and fresh air always does us good!

For breakfast, children had toast with cream cheese and banana. Lunch consisted of scrambled eggs, broccoli, and banana. PM snack was thin rice cakes with hummus.

Have a terrific evening!

WF Fall & Farm, 10/22/14

093

Fall.  It’s all around us.  Today, while moving slowly through the farm prairie, our children explored bursting seed pods that took flight from their hands, they dominated the dry crisp towering plants that crunched and bent to the will of their little bodies while stealing their boots and they breathed the cool fresh air that invigorated their lungs and teased their noses with autumn scents.  They were ALL in…mind, body, & little spirits.

**ON HALLOWEEN, Friday, October 31st, weather permitting, PARENTS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND our annual neighborhood Halloween Parade around the block.  It will begin at 3:30.  Children are welcome to bring their costumes to WF and we will help them dress after snack to be ready for our parade!  (For any child not dressing at home this year, no worries, we have plenty of WF costumes that they can use for our parade.)

Breakfast was PB on brown rice cakes and fresh strawberries.

Lunch was farm fresh eggs scrambled, banana, steamed cauliflower with cheese, and whole wheat flat bread.

Snack will be whole wheat crackers and black beans.

Enjoy this glorious fall day!
