Owls 2012-2013: There Is Mischief Afoot!

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.

There Is Mischief Afoot!

This morning, we discovered that a nefarious deed had taken place. The bean sprouts that we had worked hard on planting were literally pulled out of the raised beds outside, and are now dead. We were upset, but we dedicated a morning meeting discussion about what we can do to prevent such events from happening again. We came up with many ideas, including signs, fences, roofs, a house that has a screen on the top (to still let sunlight in), and more.

We visited Gwen, who read us a story called "Boot and Shoe" about two doggie best friends and one very mischievous squirrel. We also borrowed books for our classroom for the last time of the school year! Next time we visit Gwen, she will not be able to let us borrow books because she will be hard at work taking a book inventory. This is a very strange reminder that the end of school is just around the corner!
