Greetings, Turtle Families,
Thank you for coming out for the Workday hosted by the Turtle class. It was so nice to work alongside so many Turtle families. Your families are such an important part of our school community, and we appreciate you taking the time and energy to help our school!
The children had a fun and muddy week in the forest. There was plenty of rainwater to mix in with the dirt to make lots and lots of mud. The children used the mud to create many mud kitchen items. They used mud to paint the trucks, the stumps, and the wheelbarrow; and to make big piles of dirt that were added to their forts and obstacle courses. The mud and water are a beneficial sensory experience for the students.
On the platform, the students made cards to send home. The children drew, wrote, cut, and glued to create beautiful cards. Then, they helped address them; some students even knew their home addresses. Each child placed their card in the addressed envelope and sealed it. Finally, each student put a stamp in the top right corner of the envelope. When the envelopes were ready for the mail, we took a walk to the mailbox, and everyone had a turn putting their card in the mailbox. The last child raised the red flag so the postman would know there was mail inside. It will be so exciting when you open the mailbox at home to find these special envelopes inside!
On Thursday, we celebrated Finley’s 6th birthday. Finley’s Mom and Dad visited our class and shared fun memories from each year of her life. Classmates, teachers, and her parents shared a wish for the coming year. Happy Birthday, Finley!
