Peanut's Thanksgiving, popcorn & pajama day

We had such a fun movie and pajama time Wednesday morning watching the Peanut's Thanksgiving film.  We had popcorn and celebrated Thanksgiving Eve!  The children loved it and also learned about the Mayflower voyage afterwards.  Happy Thanksgiving to all of our families!  We are so thankful for you!!

Thankful For Our AoHC Families

Yesterday around AoHC it was "Thankful Tuesday." With helpers from all over the building at different times during the day, we managed to bake over 100 individual loaves of bread to hand out to our families as they went home yesterday. We had enough left to leave out for our families that missed it yesterday to grab this morning too! We just wanted to let all of our families know how thankful we are that they chose us to care for their most precious possessions, their children. The whole building smelled wonderful and everyone was so excited to take home a loaf of blueberry bread! 

Blueberry Bread...yummm!

Grab a loaf on your way out!

So many loaves!

We love to have extra things for our families just to help them remember how much we appreciate them. We only wish we could do something this fun everyday!!

Check out this quick and easy blueberry loaf recipe you and your kids can make together! Or this recipe for blueberry zucchini bread if you want to sneak in some vegetables the kids won't even notice! Happy Baking!!

Trick or Treat Fun

Our kiddos here at AoHC had so much fun trick-or-treating from class to class last Friday. Even the little toddlers walked around to visit their big friends for some candy. Almost everyone wore their costumes to show them off to their friends. What fun!! We had them all saying "trick-or-treat" and knocking on the doors by the end of their classroom rounds. They were prepared for Halloween night!

All the kids were so excited to show off their costumes to their friends and get tons of candy! They all did such a great job making it around to all the classrooms and following their teacher's directions! All the teachers love getting to see everyone else's costume as well! 

Halloween seems far away, but its never too early to be prepared. Check out this sight for some fun and simple DIY costume ideas for next year!

Branches BOLT

We had so much fun at our Branches BOLT last Tuesday. We want to extend a BIG Thank You to all of those who pledged to support Branches. Branches is a wonderful organization devoted to helping the families and staff of each of the Academy locations. Since it sprinkled a little on our scheduled BOLT day, we kept the fun inside and had a track set up around our enrichment room. The kids ran laps till they could run no more. Even our little toddlers were delighted to run and run!

Check out our super fast racers!!

Water Break!

The kids loved racing around our enrichment room. They were so excited to be able to run around inside and we were so glad that it was for such a good cause. To learn more about Branches click here.
