Annual Back 2 School Event

 FOAM PARTY

On Friday, we had our first Form Party to bring in Back 2 School Month. This was so much fun and all our friends really enjoyed an “outside bath” as they call it.

 

With as much fun as it looked, we found that our educator couldn’t resist the fun and joined in with our little ones.

 

We, also, went live on our Instagram page and many parents logged in to see their kids in action. This was the absolute best and we know for sure this will be an annual Back 2 School event.

Just Imagine Week

Princess 👸 & Pirate 🏴‍☠️ Day

This week is Just Imagine Week and we started it off with a Princess and Pirate Dress Up Day! 

If our friends could dress up every day in costumes they would. So what better way to meet their needs than to have a dress up day where all the girls can be princesses and boys can be pirates! 

It was a successful day! All of them loved seeing their friends in similar outfits and taking lots of pictures! Just Imagine Week should be great! 

PreK Graduation & Prom

 LUAU TIME

For our PreK Graduation and Prom this year, we had a Luau! This was the first year that we had both events on the same day and it was magical.

 

The graduation started at 6:30pm and it was short and sweet. Our PreK friends walked in, sang their graduation songs, and were awarded their certificates of completion. This year, we also gave our special awards that describe their personalities and who they are as people. These we so sweet and cute.

 

Once the ceremony was over, our parents collected their yearbooks, a grass skirt, and a coconut tree cup and headed outside to the Luau.

 

We have a waterslide, BBQ for dinner, and a cool DJ to keep the tunes going. This was so awesome. All of our parents were thrilled and loved the theme and concept of having them together. This will probably be an ongoing thing for years to come.

Outta This World Week

Buzz Lightyear Visit 

Today is the beginning of Outta The World week and we started it off with a bang at AOPP. Our favorite Friend, Superman-like, Astronaut-like character, Buzz Lightyear came to visit.

All our friends were excited and thrilled when he walked in. He had the song, You Got A Friend in Me, playing when he entered the classrooms and the party begun! We all love him!

LegoLand Week

Lego Land Week

This week was BLOCK-ed out just for FUN! This week was Legoland week. We started the week on Tuesday, which felt so weird, with some Lego Stamping. All the eligible classes were able to participate and even in our Enrichment Class, the theme was Legos. 

On Wednesday, our older classes were able to make their own Legos using Rice Krispy Treats and M & Ms. That all loved their edible Legos. 

Our PreK 2 class went further and beyond this week for their lesson and did Lego sight words and rhyming words and Lego emotions! 

The week seemed to be a blast all around!

Green Thumbs Week

 Green Thumbs Week

This week has been Going-Green Good! This week was Green Thumbs week and all our friends have enjoyed the learning and crafts of this week. Monday, we had a special Dirt Cup snack, which was so yummy. Tuesday, we tried something new. Each class got a few corn stocks and was able to shuck corn as a class. This was remarkably interesting to watch, but the kids loved it. Thursday, we had the shucked corn and other vegetables that we washed for our produce wash. Today was our last Friday of Water Day and it was filled with FUN!
