Annual Christmas Program

Last night we had our Christmas program here at AoHC. The T.A.S.K. kids did a great job memorizing and delivering their lines for The Gingerbread Man play. We were so proud of our Preschool and PreK classes for singing so well and being so brave on stage. Instead of the fox eating the gingerbread man at the end of the play we had a surprise visit from Santa. He reminded the fox to behave himself so he could be on Santa's good list. Following the play all the families gathered back in our enrichment room for refreshments. What Fun!

Our Fantastic Performers!

It's Snowing at AoHC

On Friday the weather man was calling for some snow here in Middle Tennesse, but since we didn't get any, we made our own!

Mini Snowman in PreK Three!

Drew said it was cold like real snow!

If you want to try this at home its simple! Mix two small boxes of baking soda with a small amount of white hair conditioner. The more conditioner you add the better the "snow" sticks together. You will have your own snow in no time!

Construction Site

Our playground was a massive construction site this week. The kiddos loved stacking the boxes and building structures with them. They also got to tape them together with neon duct tape.

Our First Annual Grandparent Tea & Art Show

 Our Grandparent's Tea and Art Show was WONDERFUL!  So many sweet families here! We had a tea hat contest, and there were many beautiful tea hats present!  Even a few of the Grandpas had some great hats.  We loved the grandpa who sported his bow tie as well!  The children felt so special and proud having their grandparents here for the special event, and the teachers had nice grandparent art work on display for the grandparents to pick up.  We are excited to make this an annual event, every Friday before Grandparent's Day at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Pictured above our the winning Tea Party Hats!  

Thank you for playing tea with us!
