Owls 2012-2013: Under Water Shirts, and Alexander's Family Fun

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.

Under Water Shirts, and Alexander's Family Fun

Today, we spent the morning exploring more of our creative sides with Sam. She came into the Owl room and spent time helping friends in the decorating of shirts. Shirts? Oh, what shirts? Why, the shirts that we are going to wear for our 2012 Winter Program: Water Dance, of course! The shirts were decorated using colors that represent the water, and were applied with balloons to add a different kind of flowing texture.

We also received a visit from Jill and Brian, Alexander's parents, who shared with us their holiday tradition of reading the Nutcracker and being visited by St. Nick. The family traditions visits that have started are wonderful, and we look forward to being visited by as many Owl families as possible!
