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.

Spreading Peace


We began working on four new Peace Sticks today. We are going to share them with the big kids who helped us to think about meanness and the opposite of meanness. They looked quite magical by the time the Turtles were finished!




 We also worked more with clay. Today's challenge was to make it into new shapes like rolls and ball.


In the Block Area, we extended the work with the marbles by adding wooden marble tracks. The Turtles used them in many creative, cooperative ways!







Mimi brought in yummy pretzels for St. Patrick's Day. They were dipped in green chocolate!



We got mail from Ireland today! It came just in time for St. Patrick's Day, and it turns out that it was a Happy St. Patrick's Day card sent by Caimin's grandparents!
