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.

Owls with a Mission


Today's mission took us through the woods and over a creek, quite literally! Mike got a wagon out of the shed, and we set off to find more materials for our "Messy Materials" building area on play yard. As we walked, we collected sticks and pine cones in the wagon. Soon we came to the creek, where we found some large and slippery rocks. Using some team work, we loaded them into the wagon.












Our mission complete, we took some time to explore the creek and fields, "fishing" with sticks, jumping from the bleachers (listening to our bodies to know how high felt safe), rolling down the hill, and running in the field.

Heading back




Early in the day, the new blue play dough was very popular, as were the wedge-it builders. 






Mike read stories, and the wild animals roamed the dress-up area.
