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.

Buster Williams!

Today was the day that Buster Williams, renowned jazz bassist, came to Abington Friends School!
He spent his morning with the Owls and the Doves. Each friend told their name, and Buster said, "Every time someone asks you your name, I want you to be proud it say it! Be proud of your name!" Wise words, indeed. 
He asked us to sing songs for him, and many Owls were excited to sing things like the ABC's for him. Both classes also sang our classic "Say Hello" song for him, and he accompanied on bass. He even played for us while friends got to dance and move!

We also continued playing cooperative games. Thanks to Caimin for bringing in Bird Bingo!
