The Turtles @ AFS: Creating Castle #2

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.

Creating Castle #2

The Turtles went right to work as soon as they came to school this morning. We are expecting to be very busy until the play due to the many preparations! Today, we decided to cut out and paint our second castle. Some of the Turtles suggested to paint the castle red and black, with a blue flag, while others wanted some purple. The castle is still not perfect and we will probably add a little more touches of red to the castle later this week, and of course our special fairy glitter.

We also made a Thank You card for Missy since today was our last class with her. The Turtles were so excited to talk about all the fun things they liked to do with Missy so that Fran could write it down on the card. They used special pens to sign their names and even used some water colors on the card.
