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.

Into the Woods!

What a grand day for a walk in the woods! Abington Art Center has 27 acres of grounds, including an "Art Trail," which is where we walked today. 
There were logs to climb over,

 tunnels to ponder,




 lots and lots of signs to read,

 snack on the go,

 a hill to roll down,

 the Echo Room to run around in,

 sculptures to see, 

 maps to read,


 magic glass rocks to explore,

 poison ivy to identify,

more signs to decipher, 


 crazy mushrooms to observe,

 giant heads carved out of stumps,

 benches to rest on,

 a quiet moment to listen to the sounds of the woods (including a woodpecker!),

 and even Little Frogs to frolic with!










And after all that, we got to wind down with a peaceful Music Class with Jenny. She brought her Bowed Psaltery for the children to try

and scarves for dancing like leaves in the wind!
