Back To School and Frogstreet Kickoff!

 Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a fantastic week and enjoyed the holiday! With a shorter week, the days are going by so quickly! Last week was our last hurrah for the summer. It was back-to-school-themed! Teachers introduced the Frogstreet curriculum and met their little mascots, and even Pete The Cat came to visit! It was such a fun time! On Tuesday, classes chose a back-to-school craft. There were lots of buses made with shapes or with handprints. Wednesday, classes talked about families and showed their family photos to their classmates during circle time. 

To finish the week, classes discussed healthy meal choices, and our teachers had an in-service day! It was great to see all the teachers come together to learn how to be the best teachers they can be. 

This week has been great as well! So far, we have had a yoga session using a Cosmic Kids video. Our babies got to listen to different sounds, and teachers watched to see their responses. Today, we had families take home a pizza kit! We can't wait to see all the photos as they make their own creation. We are so excited to start this year! What a great day to teach! 

Superheroes and the Olympics!

 Hey everyone! I hope your week is going well so far. Let me catch you up on what's been going on here at AOHC! Last week was Superhero Training Academy week! Teachers have been helping our friends here learn that although they can't fly, move super heavy things, or turn invisible, being a helper or a good friend can be a superpower. We also added some fun activities like; dressing up as your favorite superhero, making our own superhero masks, we even danced to the song, "Superheros Unite" by Koo Koo Kangaroo! Last Friday we ended a week with a BANG! Krypto (Superman's dog) flew by the school to drop off his all famous Wonder Dogs for families to enjoy on their way home for the weekend. It was a big hit let me tell you!

This week is Olympics week! Where we're off to the races and moving our bodies! So far this week we have color sorted the Olympic colors. With our shape of the month being circles, some classes used the colored circles to help friends find toys that are the same color and put them in the correct areas. Other classes actually made the Olympic rings themselves! Today, classes had a paper plate ice skating activity. It took a few times for some friends to get the hang of it but it was so fun to watch. I can't wait to see what our friends do for the rest of this week! We will have lots more to look forward to!
