Owls 2012-2013: How The Grinch Stole the Lights (And Hung Them in the Owl Room)

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.

How The Grinch Stole the Lights (And Hung Them in the Owl Room)

Well, actually, all lights were honestly purchased in the making of this blog. But the Owls did receive a visit from Matthew's mommy, Nicole, today for the family traditions visits! Together, we listened to the audio narration of How The Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Suess, complete with some classic songs. Nicole also told us about how their family has a tradition of hanging up holiday lights on their house, and was kind enough to bring in "icicle" lights for our classroom. Many of the Owls worked

together to help the adults hang up the lights around our back windows. Thank you for the enlightening experience, Nicole (get it? Get it?)!
