Owls 2012-2013: Middle School Helpers, Second Grade Story Tellers, and Spring Times

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.

Middle School Helpers, Second Grade Story Tellers, and Spring Times

Jesse, Thomas, and Sydney played with us all morning!

We also had some more visitors this morning, Jeanne's second graders came to share their stories from their Story Telling Investigation. Their stories ranged from folk tales to scary tall tales, and they have been practicing using many dramatic tropes like gestures, dramatic pauses, and varying tones.
