The Turtles @ AFS: Preparing the Invitations!

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.

Preparing the Invitations!

Now that The Turtles and the Beanstalk is almost perfect, we began creating invitations to invite our families and friends to come watch the performance, which will be on June 12th at 10:30am in the Turtle Room. During Choice Time, one option was to write all the names of the people who we were sending the invitations to and another choice was to use our special light table to outline our character pictures onto the invitations. Both centers were very popular and the children were so excited putting their invitations in envelopes and sealing them up. Next, we will put stamps on them and mail them out!
