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.

Fall at the Logs!


Today was a beautiful day to go exploring at the logs! We found that some of the logs had been moved! We could walk across the flat logs much more easily! We also found the some of the bark was coming off in large chunks. When Tamara read the book, "The Dead Tree," we learned that there is a fungus that grows under the bark of fallen trees that helps break the tree down into decaying wood, then soil.









We also worked with mixing colored water, today with bubble! 


Adding magic colored stones to the light area led to counting and patterning,

finger painting while looking at gourds,

making new playdough,

beading our helper necklace,


playing outside,

and dancing the limbo in Movement with Missy!
