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.

Wee sprouts: Cucumbers. Breakfast: Whole wheat rice cakes with peanut butter and bananas. Lunch: Toasted cheddar on whole wheat bagels, fresh PPC veggie bowls (red peppers, carrots and cherry tomatoes) and Jujubes and pears. Snack: Peanuts and fresh fruit.

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.

Every Tuesday morning, when older swimmers swim away,

Sensory exploration is out for those who stay.

For if you’re two or three or four, to touch and smell and see,

Is how you learn about your world and how you learn to be.

Even if you’re Five……

It makes you COME ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Water and cornstarch with watercolor, corn cobs, forks, spoons, balloons and plastic baggies.)

Breakfast: Kix and bananas. Lunch: Melted cheddar and refried beans on whole wheat tortillas, PPC cherry tomatoes/cucumbers and PPC grapes/Springhope apple slices. Snack: Cheddar cheese slices and crackers.

On this Blue Bus morning, we jumped into  opportunities to create math: First, Math FAB K.4.1: Identify and describe common geometric shapes. We also incorporated Math FAB K.4.3 by using the terms: inside,outside, between, above and below. 

We further explored shapes at the Play Do table by singing (to the tune Frere Jacques)

“Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, make a ball, make a ball.

A circle can be a ba-all, a circle can be a ba-all,

Rolling a ball, rolling a ball.”

We sang about pressing rectangles and pinching triangles.

 

We folded rectangular wash cloths.

We made it a great day.-Laurie
