Happy Easter!

 Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful week. Here at AOHC, it has been so busy but all of our friends here are so excited for what's coming. 

Monday preschool participated in their FrogStreet activity where they went on a shark hunt. A lot of the boys were really into this one because, who doesn't like sharks? Tuesday was the first day of spring. Yay we made it! So teachers got to choose what activity they wanted to do in celebration of it. Wednesday classes talked about the life cycle of a flower. With spring finally making an appearance, we wanted to continue with the theme. 

Thursday was a very busy day! The Easter egg hunts were in full swing all day. Honestly, we couldn't have picked a more perfect day! The weather was absolutely beautiful and there were lots of parents that came to help. Friday was the Easter party. The kids were so excited for their special snack. So excited that they had a hard time falling asleep for nap. Not to worry though, teachers did make sure to get ALL the energy out during outside time. Happy Easter to all!

Happy St. Patrick's!

 Hi everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week! It has been very eventful for us here at AOHC. Monday we had a fun science activity where we made shamrocks, but not just any shamrocks, we made FIZZY shamrocks. Now these are extra fun because we had friends put baking soda around the shape and then dripped/poured green vinegar on top to make a fizzy effect. How fun!

Tuesday, classrooms were practicing their writing with something green. Some had some green sand while others had some green rice. Wednesday Toddlers had their activity where they made homemade Jack and Jill puppets and told the story with them. 

Thursday classes prepared a trap for their leprechaun. The teachers had so much fun being creative with these traps along with friends that were so excited when he came that night to drop off some sweet gifts! Friday, classes did a rainbow craft to finish off the week. We hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!

Dr. Seuss Week!

 Hey everyone! It's Dr. Seuss week! Nothing like showing appreciation of an author that has been such a big part of a lot of our childhood lives. 

Monday was crazy hair day! Teachers and kids alike came in their craziest hairstyles. It was so much fun to see everyone in all kinds of silly looks.  Tuesday we read the classic story of, "Green Eggs and Ham". We even had green eggs and ham at the breakfast bar too. A lot of our friends thought it was so much fun to have something that was in a story for breakfast. 

Wednesday was a very VERY comfortable day. Who doesn't like a pajama day thrown in every now and then!? Thursday was National Flapjack Day, so we celebrated by having them for breakfast that morning. 

Finally, the day that all of our friends have been waiting for. Nashville Zoo came for a visit to tell us about the fun animals that they brought. Everyone was so excited to see these animals so close while learning about their habitat. They also got to ask questions about them, and let me tell you, they had LOTS of questions.
