Egg Hunt Fun!

Our Egg Hunt was so much fun here at AoHC! Our families were so generous when bringing in their eggs!! We had tons of eggs for each classroom and had separate hunts during their outside times.

Week Of The Young Child

In honor of The Week Of The Young Child, we invited the Mayor of Thompson Station, Corey Napier to come and visit our center. Mayor Napier read to our three PreK classes in our enrichment room. He also talked about the new park developments in our community which are based on the needs of the children of our community. It was such an honor to have him here and we appreciate him taking time out of his busy schedule to visit The Academy of Heritage Commons. 

The Mayor and Our PreK Kids!

 Listening to the story.

Phases Of The Moon

On Tuesday we had a fun "Phases of the Moon" snack. Our classes each took Oreo cookies, separated the sides and scraped the icing out of the middle to make the different phases of the moon. Our teachers labeled each phase and explained to the kiddos what each phase means. 

So much fun and yummy too!!

A great tool to teach phases of the moon!

Making Moon Sand

Our High Reach Learning theme this week was "To The Moon and Back" so we made moon sand on Wednesday! The kids loved mixing it up and getting their hands all dirty! It started out very messy but once the ingredients were mixed together it was had a very light almost play-dough feel to it. What fun!

Paper Airplane Races

Today we had our paper airplane races at AoHC as a part of our "Flying" theme this week! We began by letting each friend fly their plane solo. Next we all stood in a line and flew all our planes together. We noticed that the more we angled our planes towards to ceiling the farther they flew! What fun!!

Taking turns!

Go Aubrey!

Waiting patiently...

Great take off Ava!

St. Patrick's Day Fun

Today we had so much mischief around AoHC! We had a sneaky leprechaun leaping all over our school turning things GREEN. 

Help us find him!

He turned our milk for snack and lunch GREEN.

He turned our juice and pudding GREEN!

He even left little GREEN footprints all over our counters!!

The kids loved all the mischief that the leprechaun created. A couple classes even went on a leprechaun hunt!

Recycled Skyscrapers

Last Friday all our classes built skyscrapers from recycled materials. We are really focusing on "Green Our Scene" this March and April. We want to teach our kids to leave less of a "footprint" and to teaching them habits that will help preserve our Earth for future generations.

Pre K 2 took their skyscraper challenge outside!

Pre K 3-So proud of their creation!

Another awesome creation in PreK 3!

It is so important to start teaching our kids the importance of preserving the Earth now instead of later. Check out this great website for preschool recycled craft ideas to do at home with your kiddos!
