The Turtles @ AFS: The Workers Have Arrived!

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.

The Workers Have Arrived!

The construction site was in full swing this morning! Wills started out donning a hard hat and stacking up the big blocks. His friends soon joined him, bringing the tool boxes and getting set to measure, hammer, level, and square!

At Choice Time, we had a new experiment open. The teacher had noticed that the children were very interested in the mixing of colors as they worked with the watercolors. We decided to give them another option for experimenting with colors using the pipettes. They were enthralled!

We soon had to head out to get Fran's picture taken for her Faculty ID, which involved a great campus adventure. (We even visited Heidi the Nurse!)

We had our first Music Class with Jenny! She has the most beautiful voice AND cool puppets. She told us that next week she will bring a turtle puppet and sing us a turtle song that she wrote.
