The Turtles @ AFS: Busy, Busy Turtles

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.

Busy, Busy Turtles

The Turtles were so involved with all the centers this morning that we ended up staying inside all morning! The morning started off with some yoga, lots of dramatic play, building with magnatiles, and making people with flubber!

During the middle of the morning, Jenny came to our classroom for music! The Turtles only have 3 more classes with Jenny until its summer so we decided to sing all of our favorite songs such as, At the Aquarium and Jenny Jenkins.
