The Turtles @ AFS: Gardening and Ice

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.

Gardening and Ice

Now that the Turtles have drawn their observational sketches of their beans, it was time for planting the sunflowers in our soil pellets along side of our beans. Some of the Turtles even put on gardening gloves when planting and another even wanted measure the size of his "beanstalk."

The Turtles had another exciting day with the Little Frogs today. We got to do Morning Meeting and also have a dance party together! During Inside-Outside day, we even brought out some ice for the water table to see how they ice would melt!
