Holiday Fun

We have been busy with holiday fun here at AOPP.  We have done Christmas Light crafts, Pajama Day, and a book exchange to name a few.  We have also made ornaments to hang on our tree!  What is your favorite part of the Holiday season?

 

Holiday Cookie Hunt

 

Our friends had so much fun looking for holiday cookies.  Mrs. Suzie told them a story about the missing cookies, and she needed their help finding them.  After our friends found them, they sorted them and paired them with their matching buddy.  What kind of cookies do you like to bake during the holidays?

Leaf Collages

Our friends had so much fun collecting leaves for their leaf collages.  They were so creative, and the leaves were so colorful!  They were so excited about the different shapes and colors of the leaves.  What is your favorite type of leaf?

 

Fall Farm Fun

We had a very special guest visit AOPP this week!  Mrs. Susan brought Fall farm living to life!  The kids got to pick apples from the tree and dig up vegetables.  Then, they sorted them into bags for the Farmer's Market.  They had a blast!  

 

National Hug A Bear Day

We celebrated National Hug A Bear Day this week!  Our kids got to bring their favorite stuffed animal from home.  They played with them outside and snuggled with them at Nap Time.  I think it's safe to say that they had so much fun playing with them at school, and I think the stuffed animals had fun too!  What is your favorite stuffed animal?

 

Fall Fest & Trunk Or Treat

We had so much fun celebrating Halloween with our Fall Fest & Trunk Or Treat.  We had face painting, a bounce house, a photo booth, and sensory bins.  We also had a D.J, a balloon artist, and food.  We also had some amazing trunks that were decorated.  What is your favorite Halloween activity?

 

Halloween Safety Tips

 Spooky Season is among us and Halloween is fast approaching.  We would love to share some wonderful safety tips for Trick Or Treating to make sure everyone stays safe and has fun as well.  We hope you find these useful.

• Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks.  Look left, right, and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross.

• Trick or Treat with an adult.  Children under the age of 12 should not be alone at night without adult supervision.

• Keep costumes both creative and safe.  Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape and, if possible, choose light or bright colors.  Also, choose face paint and makeup instead of masks whenever possible. Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights as well.

• Drive extra safe on Halloween.  Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods.
• Try to only Trick or Treat at houses with brightly lit porches.
• Children should memorize their home phone number and address in case of an emergency.  Include a communication card with contact and medical information in your child's costume.
• Make sure to tell your children not to share candy with friends that have food allergies.  Also, parents should examine all candy for strange lumps, smells, rips, defects, and expirations dates

Brentwood Fire Department Visit

This week we had the Brentwood Fire Department come visit our School!  The kids thought the big fire truck was so cool.  They got to see all of the different tools and equipment that they use.  They also got to actually step inside of the truck!  Thank you so much to The Brentwood Fire Department!
