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.

PJ Day!

Today was pajama day!
The Owls arrived in their coziest garb, armed with slippers and stuffies, ready to enjoy the coziest day of the year. For this special day, we enjoyed a special snack-homemade waffles made fresh in our classroom by Kristin! We also had fresh blueberries, strawberries, whipped cream and syrup for toppings, and orange juice to drink.
We also gathered together with the other E.C. classes in the Cardinals room to share a very special story time, with books read by Debbie.
