The Turtles @ AFS: Visiting Photographers

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.

Visiting Photographers

At Morning Meeting today, we did a dry run of our Turtles and the Beanstalk with the children speaking their parts! They were so excited! We also realized that the end of the story doesn't quite make sense. The editors still have some work to do!

There were many color mixing activities today:

And so beautiful outdoor time:

It was Debbie's birthday so the children surprised her with a serenade!

Today the Turtles were visited by some professional photographers. They were inspired and asked Ariell if they could try out the class's camera themselves. They took turn, and got some great shots from unique perspectives:
