Pet Rocks

Last week it was Pet week at AoHC. We brought in pictures of the pets we have at home, talked about the pets we wished we had, ate some homemade puppy chow and even got to make our very own pets on Friday-pet rocks! We had all different colors of paint, big and small rocks, and googly eyes. Some of our friends made monsters, some made bugs and some of the rocks you had to use your imagination for!

So many cute rocks.

We had so much fun painting rocks on Friday! We had them write their names on paper bags with their rocks so we could send the dry rocks home on Monday.

We love our AoHC grandparents!

Last Friday we invited all of our AoHC grandparents to come enjoy an ice cream sundae party with their grandchildren. We all know that grandparents deserve to be spoiled since they always spoil us! 

So many treats!

We had a blast at our grandparents day celebration and we hope our families did too! Thank you to all who came out to celebrate our very special grandparents with us.

AoHC welcomes Batman

During superhero week we wanted to invite a superhero to visit with us. We had Spiderman scheduled to come visit, but he had an emergency in New York City last minute. Spiderman didn't want our kiddos to be dissapointed to he sent his good friend, BATMAN! The kids were so excited to visit with and talk to him. They were asking him all kinds of silly questions.

Rapunzel Makes An Appearance

Last week we talked all about different fairy tale adventures. We built castles, dressed like princes and princesses and made graphs of our favorite fairy tales. All these things were so much fun, but our favorite thing all week long was when Rapunzel visited from her far away kingdom. Our friends loved singing songs with, talking to and getting stickers from Rapunzel. Some of them even touched her long beautiful hair!

Road Trip in an RV

This week we have been talking all about Route 66 here at The Academy of Heritage Commons. One of the fun ways you could travel down Route 66 to see all the sights is in an RV. Mr. Bill and Mrs. Kathy brought their RV to our school so we could learn all about it! They taught us that RV stood for "Recreational Vehicle" and they also taught us about the different kinds that exist. Mr. Bill did the outside tour for us and Mrs. Kathy showed us around the inside. Each of our classes from our preschoolers and up got the whole tour of the RV and they loved it!

PreK 1 learning about the storage "basements."

Learning about the "levelers."

The RV is so big!

PreK 2 learning about the cameras.

This is where the engine is. 

PreK 3 asking questions.

There was even a TV on the outside!

It was so special that our friends got to explore the RV. BIG thanks to Mr. Bill and Mrs. Kathy who brought it out to us!! We learned so much and had so much fun! Several of our friends are claiming that they are headed home to ask their mommies and daddies for one too!
