The Turtles @ AFS: The Turtles Know How To Party

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.

The Turtles Know How To Party

The weather has been so unbelievable recently that the Turtles came into the room in a good mood! When Fran told them that it was Tamara's birthday and that we got to decorate our own (gluten-free!) cupcakes, the excitement was palpable! There was icing and dancing and singing and hugging.

And the day had just barely begun! Fueled by cupcakes and pretzels, we set off to the Art Walk in the woods at Abington Art Center. There we saw all kinds of signs of spring!
