The Turtles @ AFS: Pajama Day! a.k.a. The Cutest Day of the Year!

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.

Pajama Day! a.k.a. The Cutest Day of the Year!

Today was a snuggly and delicious Pajama Day!

We made blue berry muffins for a Pajama Day snack.

We explored our new work bench and Tool Center. The Turtles are quickly figuring out how to use the tools and even got some of the screws out of the wood blocks, a very tricky task requiring lots of fine motor strength and coordination.

At Morning Meeting, we continued working on how big our house will be. We had five people sit in the middle of the carpet. Then we used red tape to make a rectangle around the children.

Finally, we measured the rectangle so we will have the measurements for getting wood from April in the Theater Tech Workshop.

We even had Pajama Day on the playground where the Turtles are finding new and creative ways to push their physical prowess!
