The Turtles @ AFS: The Mysterious Cones

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.

The Mysterious Cones

Today's adventure started out at the giant logs.

There were many kinds of mushrooms,

spiders,

and even a worm!

Then we went on to the mysterious forest that Matthew found.

And then, we found something truly mysterious: a yellow cone!

And then another and another and another. We followed the trail of cones all around campus. The kids had so many ideas about the cones. One person said that maybe they were used to direct traffic. Another child objected, "But not in the grass!" We followed around the whole grove and cemetery trying to figure out what was going on. We will follow up on this mystery tomorrow!
