The Turtles @ AFS: Happy Valentine's Day!

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.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our morning started with making Valentine's Day cupcakes for the Turtles and the Little Frogs. Instead of doing Flip Flop Day, the Turtles and the Little Frogs joined together outside to celebrate Valentine's Day by eating cupcakes, cookies, and donuts!

It seems like all the delicious treats fueled up all the Turtles to do lots of gross motor activities!

During Morning Meeting, Fran read us different Valentine's Day poems about teachers, friends, and dogs. This was a great way to get the Turtles excited about making Valentine's cards for their families during Choice Time! The Turtles spent lots of time cutting, pasting, tracing, and decorating their cards trying to make something special for their families.
