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.

Finding Experts to Consult

We went for a walk today to find some experts to help us with our research on meanness. We walked over to Ruairi's class. His teacher Kathy was there, and we asked her if we could talk with her kids about our research. She said that we definitely could, and even showed us a book that her class had read about being unkind called, "Words Are Not for Hurting."
Next we went to Lucas's class. No one was in there, so we left them a note.


Everyone we encountered, the Turtles were eager to tell about our research, including Toni.

Today was also a special birthday! We celebrated by singing Happy Birthday and sharing cupcakes.

















Our activities included:
shaving cream,





magna-tiles,


tool time,


doing Yoga, and

Moon Sand!




Outside we played on our playground and at the Lower School.
