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.

Writing, Writing, Writing!

Many of our Turtles are becoming very interested in letters and in writing. Our morning was full of writing! Whether it was taking down food orders in the restaurant or jotting down notes in the office, the Turtles worked diligently. After reading A Letter To Amy, by Ezra Jack Keats, one Turtle even suggested writing a letter to his dad and putting it in an envelope just like Peter did for Amy in the story.






Much of our time during Inside-Outside day was spent outside in the sunny weather!  

Making food for princesses.



Riding bikes and helping our friends put on helmets.


Chasing each other.

Experimenting with flour and water.





Reading Birds by Kevin Henkes

Some things we did inside included:

Finishing up our "Something Blue" quilt.

Gardening.

Making important phone calls to our Moms.
