Good Afternoon!
Greetings from somewhere warm! Tate…bring us back some warm weather please! 
See you next week buddy!
Our morning consisted of shaving cream. Messy. Sensory. White. Fun. Experimental.
Eren started a trend. When he clapped his hands, he found that the shaving cream flew into the air in little pieces. Of course, other friends started in too. Eren, Saskia, Lulu, and Nora were clapping their hands so hard that it looked like it was snowing inside!
Smiles brighten our day. Even with smocks, we were a tad messy. But hey, that means we had fun!
We were BIG fans of books this afternoon.
The teacher books have been a hit lately. We have a few favorites including ‘Leonardo the Terrible Monster’ and ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’.
For breakfast, children had kix and banana. Lunch consisted of tuna salad, pita bread, strawberries, and mixed vegetables. PM snack was cottage cheese and crackers.
Have a lovely evening!
P.S…supposedly highs are supposed to be in the low 40’s tomorrow. Hopefully Spring is rearing it’s head .
Lisa invited friends and dollies to join her on the music rug this morning. They sang “Rock-A-Bye” and read the Robert Munsch favorite Love You Forever. They spoke of siblings new and grown.
Our banjo creations got underway as we covered balloons with Paper Mache. We learned that the part of the banjo we were creating is called either the “body” or the “pot”.
Friends enjoyed another game of matching and sand block letter exploration.
Have a great day!

Hello!
Friends were cookin’ up a storm this morning! The play kitchen is an excellent place for friends to take what they see in real life and transform it into their play. Eren always let us know when something is ‘hot’! Lucy enjoyed taking a spoon and stirring her mixture in her bowl.
Lulu sat with her baby dolls as she fed each of them a bottle. Lucy and Nora played dress up together. The housekeeping area is always occupied with friends. We love pretending!
Lucy ended her afternoon by working on her walk. This pretty little lady will soon be walking..we just have a feeling 
. She was so excited about the concept of walking, her smile lit up her face!
For breakfast, children had eggs with cheese and raisins. Lunch consisted of whole grain rice with cheese and chicken, peas, and bananas. PM snack was pretzels and cheese.
Have a wonderful evening!
“Look! I can squeeze my letter out!” said Leo as he used the tongs to pick up his scrabble letter.
“Will you read the Mulberry Bush?” friends have been asking. They are requesting a Wee Friends nursery rhyme collection that includes many favorites and also many new rhymes to learn. We offered our felt board characters for them to explore.
“Hickory, Dickory, Dock”is always a favorite. We talked about what a pendulum does and asked each friend to become one. We also asked friends “Where in your house is there a clock?”
Elliott measured bell pepper sticks as Mel cut the Wee Sprouts. “You have three groups now.” he expressed.
Max and Cassie put the finishing touches on the afternoon WF Daily Schedule.
The Matching Game offers, not only excellent for cognitive development, but oh the anticipation that grows as you look for THE card!
“How many of YOUR feet long is the snake you built?”
BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS! Wee Friends can never get enough of our read out loud togetherness.
Today, we squeezed a lot of learning moments out of our friends as we listened, observed and jumped into their Wee play.
Hope you’re squeezing a lot of happiness out of your day.

Good Afternoon!
Affection at this age is adorable. Lately, Eren has been very into giving hugs. Friends have been following suite and showing affection in different ways. Relationships truly start at this age. The excitement that friends have when other children arrive at Wee Wee Friends is a very special site to witness.
Our morning was quite active.
First, we got out the shakers and made fantastic music. Some of us chose to use one shaker while a few of us had multiple shakers in our hands. When one of our friends was empty handed, we shared our shakers.
During morning naps, Eren and Saskia enjoyed working with the tunnel. At first, they went in one by one. Towards the end, they found it quite entertaining to head in the tunnel together!
For breakfast, children had english muffins with cinnamon and oranges. Lunch consisted of ham and cheese filled tortillas, pears, and mixed vegetables. PM snack was raisins and graham crackers.
Have a great evening!
Our FABS this week and last week have been natural lead ins to what we experience with our friends each day: MATH K.4.3-Use the terms inside, outside, between, above and below. K.5.1-Make comparisons of length and identify which object is shorter, longer, taller. K.5.2-Understand these concepts of time: morning, afternoon and evening. LITERACY K.4.7-Identify pictures and charts as sources of information.
A few friends have been watching the blue grass, banjo playing Curious George. Elizabeth would like to make a banjo. Today, we began our research.
And the swimmers practiced swimming safety today!
Hope your day is going well.

Happy First Monday of March!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Maya and Henri had a fabulous time this morning in the gross motor area! We were all smiles 
.
While playing with the magnatiles, Eren requested a garage. So with the help of teachers and friends, a garage was made.
He loved driving his cars down the driveway into the garage.
Since the garage was such a hit, we extended the driveway to have multiple options where cars could be driven.
Nora decided to build a tower with people on the top. Eren let her know that she built a big tower!
All of our friends used the bean bags in different ways this afternoon. Nora worked on her colors by stating the color of each bag. Lucy and Henri used it as a sensorial experience since there are beads into the bag.
For breakfast, children had cheerios and apples. Lunch consisted of whole grain noodles with kidney beans, fresh strawberries (our fave), and peas. PM snack was cheddar cheese slices and crackers.
Have a wonderful evening!
What happens when you:
How many gingerbread person high is our amaryllis?
How can we determine if it’s an indoor or outdoor play day? “Are we going outside today?”
What do you do when you GOTTA DANCE? “You Tango like this. Now turn fast.”
What do you do when you are learning to write a letter? “I can show you Elliott.” 
What happens when you don the fire person’s hat? “oo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee.”
What happens when you measure the length of a line?
What happens when you want to read a book? “Daniel is reading a book to me!”
The Wee Life happens.
