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.

Teddy Bears and Peace

WARNING: Images of children and teddy bears are extremely cute! View with caution....










We also had some special guests come today. Five children who are now in the Pre-K came back to talk to us about the Peace Table. They told us about how they used the Peace Table last year when they had problems and when they needed to use their words. They even acted out some scenarios for us so we could see how it worked. The Turtles were excited about this idea, and got to work on a Peace Stick right away. The Peace Stick will help us take turns when we are talking to solve the problem. We even added glitter to it so it would be "magic."






Finally, we wrote a letter to Dave, asking if he could help us get the meanness out to the classroom. His friend has a bulldozer, and the children want to use a bulldozer to take the meanness to the dumpster (Tamara wasn't sure we could actually build a rocket ship, so that idea is on hold at the moment.) We even put on our boots to deliver the mail to Dave's house!
