The Turtles @ AFS: Finishing Up Our Characters! (and Inside-Outside Day)

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.

Finishing Up Our Characters! (and Inside-Outside Day)

giant

We have now drawn the designs for all of our characters! The children worked with such attention to each part of the process: choosing an image for inspiration, sketching it in pencil, inking in the outline, and finally filling in the image with liquid water colors.
