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.

"Des is spring!"

As Kevin wrote in his journal this morning, this is spring! The Owls are so excited to be out and about, discovering all the signs of spring. It seems like every time we turn around, a new bush is budding, a new flower has bloomed, or a new insect has emerged. We have had lots of discussions about the taxonomy of insects, as many children have been very worried about the dreaded bees. We have talked about carpenter bees (who can't see and only eat wood) and honey bees (who help pollinate our flowers and trees) and about how bees won't bother us if we don't bother them.
