Welcome to our world of discovery and learning!

Welcome to our daily blog! We use it to share daily updates on our classroom, reflections on our learning with children, and photographs. 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.

New House Building Techniques



On the playground today, The Owls were joined by some other children from the Cardinal class and the Kindergarten in the Big Building Area. They were working on building a castle! They had some innovative ideas, including using mud as mortar and propping the branches on blocks. One kindergartener even added a draw bridge, which the Owls loved going under!



After Choice Time, we divided up into groups for some inside adventures while the storms blew through outside. One group made an obstacle course in the classroom: over, under and through chairs, blocks and tables!




Even Barry our maintenance guy joined in the fun!

Another group toured the Lower School, visiting the Art Room, Science Room, and Music Room.
The third group trekked over to the Muller Auditorium where they visited April the Theater Tech teacher. On the stage, they talked about acting  and had a game of charades.














Other activities:



Morning Meeting Puppet Show about NOT putting things in your mouth!  ("Wait, what about pizza?" "Oh yes, that is ok." "What about Tori's delicious shoes?" "Nope!")

  1. The building is not an easy task but the fresh mind in this field can do so much innovative that can't be comparable like The Maguire building Groups.
