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.

Gooey, Sensory Fun (also known as pre-writing skills in disguise!)

Flubber has landed! The Turtles stretched, rolled, poked and patted this amazing new material!








There was another gooey exploration available at the Light Table. Goop was placed in sealed plastic bags, and all kinds of manipulation ensued.





At the Water Dropper Table, another mystery was unfolding. There was yellow liquid and blue liquid in cups, but they weren't mixing to make green!
"The blue isn't working!" Wills said, "It turned blue still!"












Matt held two fingers up, squinting through his two fingers, "Its the special ingredient!"



"I made darker blue!"

Ask your child, "What do you think is happening?"

















Then we headed out on a walk to the Triangle Gym with the Little Frogs.
