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.

Spreading Wings

A conversation this morning between Alexander and Wills this morning involved the words "Chinese mayor". We began talking about what those two words mean; A mayor is the leader of a town, which was easy enough to understand, but when someone is Chinese, where are they from? China? Where is that? Well to get to the bottom of that question, we borrowed a globe from Cinda's 1st grade. We first looked to see where we live, and then used our fingers to see how far we would need to travel to get to China. As one friend exclaimed, "It's all the way across the world!"
Alexander: "So when it's daytime here, it's nighttime there [in China]!"
We also enjoyed a lot of playtime outside today with the Catbirds.
