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.

Punkin Chunkin and other Fall Adventures


 Matthew's mom came in to share a book with the class. They had attended the Punkin Chunkin Festival where old pumpkins are hurled through the air with a variety of machines. Matthew demonstrated how the machines worked, and then Nicole read the book. 

 We played outside for a long time today, enjoying the fall weather. S few Chipmunks joined our class, and the Turtles took good care of them including helping them with their shoes when they flew off down the slide.
 We also went on a rescue mission to get things that had been thrown over the fence. We got several balls and sandtoys, and that lead to new rounds of catch, basketball and football.


We went for a campus walk, finding some of the biggest leaves ever,

 a pile of sticks that we used as a camp fire,
 the tennis courts, where we played Chase the Gingerbread Boy,

 and then on to a most glorious fall tree!
