IT’S A PINK OUT
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To celebrate
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, AOPP chose today to have a PINK Out. All our
staff and kiddos wore some sort of pink and wore it with pride.
We had several friends have ribbons on their shirts,
which is the symbol for breast cancer. Days like these when we join in unity to
draw awareness for a good cause is the best.
Today at AOPP, we had National Pumpkin Seed Day and all our older classes were able to dissect pumpkins.
This was the best thing ever and all the classes were
fascinated with the way it felt inside and all our teachers asked them some
open-ended questions to get them to become more detailed.
This was so fun that we had to go further with it and make
Pumpkin Volcanoes. I sat in on Preschool 2’s fun and the kids’ expressions were
very interesting. They all loved the Volcanoes but not so much of the feeling
of the inside of a pumpkin.
PJ Day
Today at AOPP, we had Pajama Day. This is the absolute best
day to have. We are bringing in Fall in the most comfortable way. Wearing PJs to
school and work for the staff makes this place feel like home. And that’s the
feel we love to have.
AOPP is our home away from home. We spent most of our time growing,
learning, building relationships, and loving each other each day. When you are
comfortable, you feel amazing. Our staff and kiddos love PJ Days and the idea
that they can roll out of bed and come to school.
Demaree
Music
Here at the Academy, we have calendar activities set up for
the entire month of fun stuff for our school to do. We participate in all kinds
of activities and all our friends, absolutely, love them. But sometimes we find
that we leave out some of our Infant Friends because the activities are more geared
toward the older friends.
With that in mind, every other month with try to have an Infant
Music Class with Demaree Music. This gives our infants time out of class, to
experience music and fun and to make sure that they are incorporated in the activities
we have.
Our three infant classrooms totally love the time spent with
Ms. Demaree and exploring with balls, music instruments, ribbons and so much
more. We are so happy to have these types of opportunities and the parents absolutely
love that our infants are included.
FROG
STREET CURRICULUM WEEK
Last week started back out Frog Street Curriculum from our awesome Summer program. Our curriculum is one of our main attractions at the Academy and many reasons why people choose our childcare development agency over so many others.
Also, last week we introduced our froggy friends, which each
curriculum age group has their own Frog Street friends who visit occasionally.
We also had our Froggy Friends, Ace, come to visit the school and take
pictures, give hugs and lots of high-fives.
Our teachers have been prepping and preparing for the
curriculum to start back for the past few weeks and they were pumped and
excited about it starting. They’ve done so many new activities and have been
about to reinvent some of the old ones.
This
has been one fun week at the Academy.
