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.

"Is It Magnetic?"

We worked on more plans for our house today. The children noticed that parts of the "bricks" were peeling, and that some of the block had been broken. We decided to draw a plan for how we wanted to make our house. They decided on a red and blue door, an orange chimney, and a pink roof.








At Choice Time, a new set was introduced. The children were engrossed by the magnet exploration sets, asking and testing the question, "Is it magnetic?"





Free play was also rich in dramatic play:



Daily Dance Party
While we were on the playground, some Turtles took turns going inside with Carol to do some more video story dictations! Stay tuned for the upcoming videos!
