WF Wednesday 8/20 Harmony

003

In everyday language, the big math word: symmetry, translates to harmony and equality. While we guided Wee Friends through symmetrical shapes and symmetrical Art Blobbing, they showed us another side of symmetry: Three boys. Three hugs. Three smiles. Put it all together for the ultimate symmetrical harmony: Friendship. It’s all around the Wee World.

Wee Sprouts: Cauliflower. Breakfast: Rice cakes with peanut butter and Asian pears. Lunch: Organic refried beans and cheese on whole wheat tortillas, grapes and cucumbers. Snack: Milk and Asian pears.

Happy Friday!

**It’s crazy to think about what we’re almost to September! This being said, WWF will be closed Monday, September 1st for Labor Day. Thanks!

Today, we bid farewell to Naia as she makes her way across the bridge come Monday. She’s thrilled to be making the transition as are her older friends next door. We’ll miss you Naia, Dennis, and Jaime!

Good Afternoon!

Our morning started off with a lovely walk! Nora, Lucy, and Saskia bundled up with jackets. It was a little chilly as we started off but then it began to warm up.

Friends spotted a few squirrels along with a giant excavator that we stopped and watched a little bit. We also heard a lot of doggies barking! Nora let us know, “Puppies, Mindy! Puppies!”

Once we got back, we went right towards the books. Lucy sat with her brother Elliot and looked at a clock book.

Elliot and Lucy’s Nana was here for a little while this morning. We loved it that she was able to read us a few stories! Smile

This afternoon, friends partook in a little music action. Between music playing through the speakers and our musical shakers, we had some awesome music streaming throughout the house.

WF Thursday 8/14

Eren and his new Wee Bud were the first friends to arrive today. We knew exactly what to do to support their current interest.

T-R-U-C-K-S

002

Out came the vinyl road map and trucks. Out came Truck Bliss.  Later, we engaged other friends with a science experiment asking the question: Which car will go down the ramp faster? The car on the high ramp or the low ramp? We read Duck in the Truck (Jez Alborough)and Where’s My T-R-U-C-K (Karen Beaumont and the inspired illustrator, David Catrow)for our older, stringing together letter sounds, peeps.

Jessica continued the letter exploration at the piano, teaching friends which letters lay across the keyboard. And what sounds those letters make. A-B-C-D-E-F….G?

In another part of the classroom, a different transportation vehicle was set in motion. S-H-I-P. We added an ocean. “But if it’s green it’s a swamp”  Owen clarified. Stormy and then calm swamp music played as friends worked together.

005

Elliott’s Nana Vida came and weeded our garden. G-R-A-T-I-T-U-D-E. We love when Elliott’s former first grade teacher Nana comes to visit us. So does Elliott.

Hello!

While outside this morning, Saskia and Nora whipped up some yummy ice cream for their friends! Pretend play extends outdoors where friends can play make believe using the elements of nature.

Lucy tried to balance on the rock while Nora, Maya, and Saskia pretended they were in a jungle!

We love that the inside activities can extend outside such as story time. Friends love to sit on the bench or on the ground and open up a good book.

During naptime, Tate read many books with the help of Miss Jessica! We’ve found out that Rosemary loves to throw balls across the room Smile.
