The Turtles @ AFS: Balloons, Scarecrows, and Mud Puddles

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.

Balloons, Scarecrows, and Mud Puddles

This is what Choice Time looked like:

As part of the AFS Book Fair, we had a visit from the Balloon Lady! She did balloon theater for us, and some of the Turtles got to help out!

Next we went on a walk, and tried to visit all the scarecrows. We started counting them, but lost track somewhere around 8. Today each scarecrow had a sign, and we got to learn a little about each scarecrow.
