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.

Water Beads, Exploring the School and a Song for Jamaica
Water beads are an amazing substance! They grow from tiny crystals, getting bigger and bigger as they absorb water. The Catbirds shared them with us, and we loved exploring them and watching as they grew.
We divided into our Owl groups, and went on explorations around the school:
talking to Roseanne about our spiders
getting a net from Jim to catch prey for the spider
visiting the first graders' monarch butterflies
And we said bon voyage to Kristin as she gets ready for a week long trip to Jamaica:
Other happenings:
We re-arranged the classroom so there is more room for running and jumping in the Dramatic Play area
