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.

Baking Soda and Vinegar, Turtle Style

The Turtles have been so fascinated with experimenting with the water and flour that Tamara thought of changing up the ingredients and using baking soda and colored vinegar! The kids were mesmerized as they slowly and carefully added one drop at a time to the baking soda and watched it fizz. Some of the Turtles decided to mix the baking soda and colored vinegar with stirrers, while others spent a lot of time adding the various colors while watching it fizz over.









The Turtles also got a start on making sketches for their characters for our beanstalk story! To help us draw the characters we wanted, we even looked for pictures online. You can see their work on the bulletin board in the entry to the classroom.

Then we were off to Music Class where we played the drum, sang jingle bells, and played freeze dance!













To end our morning we headed for the playground:
