The Turtles @ AFS: A Little Rain Can't Stop the Turtles!

Welcome Turtle Families!

Welcome to our daily blog! We use it to share daily updates on our classroom, reflections on our learning with children, and photographs.We are so excited that so many people are sharing in the Turtle Day! Extended family, friends, neighbors, educators, etc, are also encouraged to follow the blog!

One of the wonderful aspects of blogging is that it allows real-time interaction between home and school. Is your child talking about what we are doing in school? Leave us a comment and let us know! Are you interested (or even an expert!) in something we are studying? Leave us a comment and let us know! Are you planning an outing with your child to extend the classroom learning? Leave us a comment and invite other families along!

We also have a section call, "Learn More About..." When we write each post, we tag it with relevant topics. And so if you wanted to see what we have been doing with, for instance, science, you would click on that tag, and see all the posts about science.

A Little Rain Can't Stop the Turtles!

We went on a campus walk today over to the Big School. We met many many people, and everybody wanted to know who we were, and so we sang them our song:

Everywhere we go,
People want to know,
Who we are,
So we tell them:
The mighty mighty Turtle!
We are the Turtles,
The mighty mighty Turtles!

They love us and our singing! Nancy gave us an animal cracker and showed us how to use the staple remover on her desk.

We also put on a special show. The Little Frogs teachers had noticed how well the Turtles clean up the classroom, and they asked if the Turtles could show the Little Frogs how to clean up because they are still learning. We decided to make it into a show, complete with tickets and seats for the audience. The Little Frogs watched us clean up and at the end, they clapped, and we bowed.
