WF Monday 7/29 Wee Rocks

Happy Monday!

Thank you so much for adapting to our breakfast schedule. We do “close” the breakfast kitchen at 9am!

After eating breakfast, taking care of babies and playing a round of Mexican Train, we headed outside. Friends settled into their favorite spots to begin their work. We looked around and were reminded of the value that rocks hold in our Wee Friends development. Rocks were involved in almost every work being created.

Rocks made up part of the doodle bug habitat and feeding stick.

These rocks were a part of an explosive devise….and then a cherry pie.

015

Ice cream and counting to 20.

029

Rain sticks, measuring and analyzing sound.

Using Friday’s marker and water art exploration, we decorated our rain stick and created more painted coffee filters.

Hello!

Our friends enjoyed working with the sensory stepping stones again today. We were more adventurous during the process so we took our shoes off Smile.

We had a wonderful, relaxed morning and lunchtime today! Inside children chose a variety of activities:  group painting a birdhouse, easel painting on BIG paper, puzzles, stories, and working on drilling out holes in our bottle tops for a future project.   For Taylor, Sloane and Marina, the highlight of their morning was styling Miss Lisa’s hair.  Complete with water being squirted on her, clips and poniesSmile  We were outside for 90 minutes and enjoyed the cooler temps and fabulous breeze!

For breakfast we had Kashi granola and bananas.  Miss Lisa brought in homemade sloppy joes for lunch (special request from our big Little girls). We also had fresh roasted green beans and sliced apples and pears.  Snack is homemade blueberry banana smoothies and graham crackers.  We had a fresh garden veggie assortment for Wee Sprouts.

Good Afternoon!

Eve and Keerthi started off their morning whipping up some breakfast in the kitchen! We’re working on sharing our toys and using our words when we want or need something. At this age, words are golden Smile. Children are learning the different words to use in certain situations such as no, mine, and please/thank you.

Children gathered in the story area where Miss Marty read multiple books. Friends gestured and followed along.

It was another nice day outside. Baby Maya and her friends ventured outside where we watched our Wee friends wrap up water play. Most of us headed to the teeter totters where we went back and forth while singing a song.
