Owls 2012-2013: Hello Timothy!

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.

Hello Timothy!

We had a very special visitor today in the Owls classroom: Timothy Coleman.

Timothy is the newest addition to the Coleman family, and the Colemans are wonderful parts of the AFS community. Kathleen works in the Tyson House, and Maura (Timothy's sister) is in Raji's Kindergarten class here.

Timothy visited to help us with our ongoing study on babies. Timothy is only 3 months old, and is still getting acclimated to our world, which the Owls found very fascinating. There was some question as to what stage of infancy Timothy was in, since we know that most babies crawl and eat baby food, but Timothy is still too young for that! Friends were referencing what they remembered from the visit by Joon, who is a year old. Although Joon and Timothy are both babies, they are so different! How exciting! The Owls were very excited to share what they knew about babies and ask Kathleen a few questions as well.
