The Turtles @ AFS: Tamara and Fran's Movement Class

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.

Tamara and Fran's Movement Class

The weather called for another visit to the Triangle Gym! When we were there, the Turtles pretended to be cheerleaders, played a balloon shooting game, and most fun of all, we played Mr. Fox, Red Light-Green Light, and ran relay races!

Earlier in the morning, the Turtles made a new batch of yellow flubber, read books, made a "church-beach" in the sand table, and played outside. We even got to start our real character drawings for our Turtles and the Beanstalk story using special Sharpies and water colors.
