Owls 2012-2013: A Seed Walk

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 Seed Walk

Today was glorious outside, even if there was a slight chill. We spent virtually the whole morning outside. We went on a seed walk around the meadow outside of Lower School, and friends were so excited to spot all the different kinds of seeds that grow on the trees around campus! We found "helicopters", and friends were so excited to try to dissect the small pod in order to find the seed inside. We also found marble-shaped pods, and we discovered that they pop when you apply pressure! After the pods pop, a tiny, white seed can be found inside. Some Owls planted the seeds that they found in the hopes that new trees will grow and our natural community will be more enriched!
