The Turtles @ AFS: Community Resources

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.

Community Resources

One of the wonderful things about being part of a larger community is all the resources we have access to. Today we finally tracked down Dave, and explained to him our problem. He was totally willing to help us, and we set the date for Friday. We will finally get the meanness out of the classroom!

Dave's cat, Kitty

Next we set off to see Nancy about our quilt.

On the way, there were trees to climb and races to run.

Finally, we got to Nancy and told her our plan for our quilt. She said that she would help us to make "crumb squares" for our quilt out of all the pieces that the children bring in. It will be so neat to see how this comes together, and Tamara and Fran are glad that we have an expert quilter like Nancy to help us!
