Good Afternoon!

This morning, we offered an open-ended building project at the art center.  Kids were given several large boxes and a range of smaller cardboard pieces to create something with.  The kids got to work right away.  They did a great job of naturally pairing into teams working together.  They preferred to work together rather than alone which was nice to see.  We had one older/younger friend team which worked extremely well together.  We are so impressed by our older kids ability to work on projects cooperatively and independently! The kids built airplanes which later became tents.  One friend built a car which later became a refrigerator :).  Kids played with their creations all morning, and then took them outside to continue playing with them!  Some kids even ate wee sprouts inside of them .  During projects like this, kids are using sustained attention, creative problem solving and critical thinking skills.  They build language, communication and cooperative skills as they work together to solve problems.  These valuable experiences build higher-thinking abilities and social/emotional development that will last a life time.

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Happy Friday!

We had quite the Friday! An older friend enjoyed her last day at Wee Friends before heading off to kindergarten as she chose what projected she wanted to do today: a large canvas painting! She started off by choosing the colors she wanted to use and slowly throughout the morning, every kiddo got the opportunity to make a painting as well! Children enjoyed using a large space and creating a multi step painting! After adding a base color to the canvas, they used squeeze bottles with paint to add an interesting dynamic to their painting!

Two friends were occupying the light table as they built with magnatiles and small green plastic balls . They made a popcorn machine and popped popcorn aka the green balls. Interest was peaked with this activity so we offered another space where children could build with magnatiles in a different way. We incorporated bells into the circle table activity and it inevitably started friends reminiscing about the holidays. We EVEN heard a few Christmas songs being sung and versions of the North Pole being built  .

We hope you have a terrific weekend!

Good Afternoon!

We had a spontaneous geography lesson this morning as kids talked about classmates who were away on trips.  We talked about places friends had gone inside the country but in different states.  Next, we talked about places outside the country.  We noted that one friend was on the continent of Europe while the other was on the continent of South America. 

A friend asked if we could explore a water activity in the tuff tray this morning.  We talked as a group about what to do with the water.  Several kids were in agreement that color mixing would be an activity they would want to engage with.  We try to listen to requests and ideas that kids have about activities as often as we can.

We also enjoyed our dish soap and corn starch dough we made last week.  The kids cut out shapes or rolled it into “pizza dough”.

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Good Afternoon!

This morning, a group of friends became interested in making a very long chain using connecting counters.  We challenged the kids to make it as long as they could.  Then we could measure it and see how long it was.  The kids wanted to see if they could make the chain as long as the whole classroom.  They were able to accomplish this working as a team.  To measure, we used a three foot measuring tape.  The kids made tally marks to keep track of how many three foot measurements we made before we got to the end.  They counted a total of 11 measurements.  Next, the kids learned that we would need to add up 11 three foot measurements to find out how long the chain was.  We made an equation 3×11=33, so we found out the chain was 33 feet long.  This was a great opportunity to teach measurement and multiplication naturally in a child driven way.. 

Kids explored a squeeze bottle art activity in the art center.  Some kids made patterns, others made intergalactic aliens.  Every creative idea was welcome!

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Happy Wednesday!

This morning the friends requested the object permanence boxes and sound sensory tubes.  They were busy putting their ball or coin into the hole or slot and watching it reappear in the drawer or tray.  They flipped the sensory tubes back and forth to hear the different sounds of the objects inside.

We then headed into the kitchen to engage with the pegs and pegboards.  The younger friends explored the pegs and worked at placing a peg in a hole and the older friends built tall peg towers.

We then headed outside to ride bikes, water flower and garden plants, engage in a tuff tray with seashells in water, toss the pea gravel into a bucket and engage in the sandbox.

Breakfast:  Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon sugar mixture and fresh pear.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs with shredded mozzarella cheese, homemade oatmeal apple banana muffins, fresh banana and cooked broccoli .
