Owls 2012-2013: A Little Catch Up

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.

A Little Catch Up

All apologies for the lack of a blog on Friday! Tamara was leading the Early Childhood Peer Network, which is a conference that brings together E.C. teachers from many different Friends schools. Mike was attending the conference, which made for a very busy day for just about everyone in the Owls room! So, let's catch you up:

Jason had a mystery moon in the center of circle! What was inside?

What does the hidden object feel like?

"It feels like string..."

It's the little man who lives on the moon--Aiken Drum!

Press play to enjoy our lovely singing and rhythm-making!

Today, the complications with blogging continued! The camera was missing for a large portion of the day, so while we had a busy morning creating observational drawings of the seeds that we had planted last week, it was impossible to take pictures of most of the amazing happenings! Over the weekend, the many of the seeds began to sprout small roots (or as Kevin called them, "legs").
