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.

Puppets and Houses and Stories, Oh My!

Today was the second day of puppet story telling at the Morning Meeting. The stories were very dramatic!
David and Caimin told a story about a witch and a monkey who blasted off in a rocket ship.

Sophia and Madison told a story about two princesses and their friend the prince.

We had a special visitor, Meqai from the Upper School. He will be volunteering in our classroom weekly! He was great at reading stories!

At Choice Time, we worked on building houses using a very unusual material: marshmallows!

We are working on lots of ideas about building houses, getting ready for a big construction project: building a dramatic play house!



We also made banana bread! It was delicious, and we enjoyed it alfresco as we listened to a book about Autumn.


Jenny flip-flopped her day, and so we had Music Class today! It was so much fun! The children love the  Native American song she has taught us.
