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.

Art, Books, and Mud!

Sam the Art Teacher came to our room today.
She read the book, "My Many Colored Days," by Dr. Seuss, pointing out the beautiful contrasting colors that the illustrator chose to use.

Then we took a trip to the Art Room. Then Sam played "I-Spy" with the wonderful ceiling tiles that previous students had made.





The trip to the Art Room inspired some amazing work in the  Writing and Art Area.

Pop-Up Books!






In the Dramatic Play Area, the children built a rocketship.



Then there was a tea party on the rocketship.


We also took advantage of the warm weather for a rainy day mud exploration. The children were totally enthralled with the sensory experience.
