Hello!

Friends got out the colored blocks this morning and worked on jumping off of them. We worked on our timing, coordination, and leg muscles!

It was definitely a fall morning outside. Maya balanced on the logs while Nahla and Lucy hit the sand box and rocks right when they got outside.

Anna practiced sitting up today. Her balance is getting better every day! Annabelle is reaching to her sides when she lays on her back. She’s going to be rolling over pretty soon.

They definitely made a special connection this morning while their older friends were outside playing. It’s always amazing to watch children as young as a couple of months interact with their friends.

Tate was in the hug giving mood this afternoon.

For breakfast, children had Chex and banana. Lunch consisted of ham and cheese tortillas, cooked zucchini, and pears. PM snack was string cheese and whole grain bunny crackers.

Have a lovely night!

Operation Farm Wednesday 10/22 (for Group A) is a go. This includes: Ellie, Elizabeth, Hazel, Sophie, Elliott, Aislinn, Sloane, Owen, Daniel and Emerson.

 

Cultivating independence and initiative is an important part of our Wee curriculum. When a child is naturally leading an experience, we step aside and let them lead. We stay close to guide them as they communicate with their peers. We are intentional about encouraging and pointing out a child’s strength.

Today friends used their skills to create our annual scarecrow. In another part of the classroom, Melinda expressed: “Show me where your body would go if you were going UP?” She continued the exploration with other spacial comparisons: over/under and behind/in front of.

Our morning ended with a visit from Romy’s grandmother!

Wee Sprouts: PPC  wee heirloom tomatoes. Breakfast: Kix and grapes. Lunch: Melted cheddar and ham on whole wheat tortillas, PPC roasted zucchini and orange slices. Snack: Cottage cheese and apple slices.

 

Hope everyone had a terrific weekend!

It was a baby doll kind of morning. Friends used the baby dolls along with bottles, blankets, and diapers to have a baby doll extravaganza this morning.

We got outside and thankfully got some vitamin D once the sun came out.

A couple children mentioned that the sand was cold! There was that Fall nip in the air this morning .

We welcomed back Anna who was on vacation all last week! Annabelle started her second week at WWF today! It was a GREAT Monday!

For breakfast, children had bagels with cream cheese and banana. Lunch consisted of whole grain spaghetti noodles with marinara sauce, cauliflower, and banana. PM snack was yogurt and strawberries.

Have a great night!

Happy Friday!

Hope everyone has a terrific weekend!

For breakfast, children had eggs with raisins. Lunch consisted of brown rice and quinoa with pork, banana, and broccoli. PM snack was crackers and cheese.

On this beautiful Friday we spent time caring for our babies.

                     

Wrapping babies up in blankets, cuddling them, clothing them, feeding them—we love practicing the skills we see adults do.

                     

Halloween Goop was such a hit earlier this week that Wee Frienders were asking for some more. So GOOP again it is!

            

We love the feeling of cornstarch and water between our fingers. Later, we put the mixture in balloons so we could continue exploring the sensation of goop—it’s both a liquid and a solid—in a new way.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Nahla, Maya, and Tate headed into the kitchen where we used Fall inspired paint colors. We talked about each color and then connected those colors when we went outside. We looked at all of the leaves that were outside on the ground.

Right when we headed out, we saw a squirrel rummaging throughout the backyard. We followed him .

Maya pointed out, “Ahhh! Ahhh!” She had spotted a rollie pollie. We watched as the bug crawled from one side of the deck to another.

Saskia layed out a leaf on the ground so that the rollie pollie could have a snack!

For breakfast, children had bagels with butter and banana. Lunch consisted of whole wheat bagels with melted cheese, tomatoes/red pepper, and pears. PM snack was rice cakes with hummus.

Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday, our newest friend Annabelle joined us! We’re so excited to have Annabelle and her family with us. Miss Annabelle is almost three months old.

This morning, we heard a lot of noise outside which ended up being a whole lot of rain! So, we made our own noise inside . Shakers, drums, pianos, and xylophones were all available to our friends!

Friends went up in the habitrail to watch the rain fall out of the sky.

A little gross motor play always does a body good!

For breakfast, children had cheerios and grapes. Lunch consisted of refried bean and cheese tortillas, apples/grapes, and tomatoes/cucumbers. PM snack was cheese and pretzels.
