Happy New Year!

 Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful New Years and hope you all accomplish what you set out to do this year! Let's catch up on what's been going on these past weeks. Monday, our classes read the story, "The Biggest Christmas Tree Ever". Tuesday, to celebrate the upcoming new year, they did a firework craft. Glitter and paint have been used and yes...it did get messy! You know you have a great day at school when you come home with a little paint or glitter on you! Thursday, was our school's 16th birthday! We can't believe we've been creating bonds with children and families for that long! We appreciate all the love and support throughout the years since we've opened our doors. Friday, classes made a winter themed writing activity so our friends could practice their letters. 

Now for this week so far we made winter themed sensory bins. Our friends really had a fun time searching for the secret things that were hidden inside. Tuesday, was Winter Hat Day! There were so many friends with all kinds of hats. Our older friends couldn't stop talking about how fun their hat was. Today, we had our Toddler and Preschool classes participate in their Frogstreet activity. With their curriculum theme being red and yellow, we had them play the game "Yellow Search" where our friends had to search their classrooms to find anything yellow and to talk about what the item is. What a fun couple of weeks!

The cold weather is finally coming in so we hope you all stay warm!

Merry Christmas From AOHC!

 Hello everyone! Wow, can you believe it?! It's Christmas! Time has just flown by! Let's catch up with what's been going on at AOHC. Monday, Santa came to visit our friends and have breakfast. While some were slightly nervous about him, many of our friends were excited to see him and take a picture. They even got to talk about what they wanted for Christmas. Tuesday was Dress Like an Elf Day! It was great to see our friends dress up, even our teachers as well! Wednesday was Pajama Day along with a movie that our older friends enjoyed. Our teachers always enjoy a day where they can be cozy and comfy. Thursday, our friends brought Santa hats to wear. It was such a surprise to see some of our babies in a hat as well! They looked adorable! Lastly, we had our classroom Christmas party! All of our friends were just so excited to wake up from nap to celebrate with their friends. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones! We appreciate all the families that love and support us throughout the year. Happy Holidays!

It's Time!!! DECEMBER IS HERE!

 Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones. November just came and went, and we're finally in the month of December! We are so excited for some Christmas cheer! Let's catch up on what's been going on! On Monday, infants read the story "Little Ms. Muffet" for their Frogstreet curriculum. It was so cute to see the teachers engage with the babies. On Tuesday, our Preschool and Pre-K classes discussed safety during the holidays. With all the pretty lights and candles, we must talk about what we are allowed or not allowed to touch. On Wednesday, classes made their own ornaments for our tree! Some classes made reindeer, and others made snow globes. It was great to see all the creativity. This week, we have made gingerbread houses using shapes; toddlers and preschoolers get to play a game called "What's in The Box?" for their Frogstreet activity. I do wonder what fun things the teachers will have in their boxes. On Wednesday, we will have special papers to have our friends draw what they want for Christmas to put in our magic mailbox. Santa cannot wait to see what our friends come up with. On Thursday, we will be counting gift bows, and on Friday, PreK 4 will have their Christmas Program! Our friends have been practicing and are excited to perform for their Mom and Dads! What an exciting couple of weeks!
