The Turtles @ AFS: Happy Birthday Fran!

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.

Happy Birthday Fran!

Today was Fran's birthday, and so we made her cupcakes, albeit from a mix. They were even wheat free, so Tamara could eat them too! We added the ingredients,

stirred them together, baked them,

and finally iced them in chocolate and vanilla.

At Morning Meeting, we sang Happy Birthday to Fran, and she got to blow out her candle! THe children also made her cards, some even copying her name onto their cards.

We also put the finishing touches on our Turtle shirts, bringing them in from Tamara's car, helping shake up the spray paint, and watching Tamare add the stencils to the front and back of the shirts.
