Grinch Vs. Santa

 We are in the holiday spirit here at AOPP.  We had a Grinch Vs. Santa Day, and wore either red or green to show who's side you were on. We had some adorable outfits.  I think it ended up being a tie.  Who's team are you on?  What is your favorite holiday tradition?

Western Day

We celebrated Western Wednesday this week at AOPP!  We loved seeing on the plaid, cowboy boots, and hats.  We felt like we were out west on a farm getting ready to ride horses. We even represented the queen of country herself, Mrs. Dolly Parton.  What is your favorite type of horse?

 

Fall Fest

 We had an amazing time at our Fall Fest Boo Bash!  We had games, face painting, a bounce house, cookie decorating,  photo booth, and we had a chili cookoff.  There were some awesome costumes too!  What do you wanna be for Halloween?

Halloween Safety

 Spooky Season is officially among us at AOPP!  We thought it would be a good idea to share some Trick or Treating Safety Tips.  We hope these are helpful.  What are you going to be for Halloween?  What is your favorite thing to do for Halloween?

1. Stay in well lit areas.  You can apply reflective tape to your child's costume, carry a flashlight, or glowstick.

2. Pick your mask carefully.  Make sure the opening are large enough to see and breathe through.

3. Wear comfy shoes. Also, make sure your shoelaces are double knotted so no one trips.

4. Pick a practical treat bag.  You can use a pillow case or a back pack, so that your hands are free to carry a flashlight.

5.Plan a route in advance.  Make sure you map out a route to keep your kids from getting too tired from walking and cranky.

6.Walk, don't run.  Look both ways before crossing the street and avoiding contact with other thick or treaters.

7. Check your child's candy.  Dispose of any candy that is not in it's original wrapper or looks like it has been open.

8. Avoid toxic paint. Check your face paint before you buy it and make sure it is non toxic.

9. Track your child with the Leelou App.  You can see their location and send help in case of an emergency.

Grandparent's Day

We celebrated the grandparents by hosting a Grandparent's Day tea.  we had sandwiches, cookies, juice, and different crafts!  We love seeing so many grandparents being involved in the school.  What do you like to do with your grandparents?

Back To School Bash

 We had our Back to School Bash this week!  We had basketball, bowling, bean bag toss, a foam party, and food!  Our families had so much fun. What is your favorite thing about school?

Camp Academy

This week is Camp Academy!  We celebrated by fishing, wearing camo, and played some African drums.  We also had a yummy Smores Snack Mix and did a campfire craft.  We also had a campout with sleeping bags.  What is your favorite thing to do when you go camping?
