Water Safety

 We are gearing up for Summer here at The Academy, which means Water Days! I thought it would be important to share some Water Safety Tips to ensure that your kids have fun and are being safe at the same time.  These also great tips to use if you have a pool at home or are planning a beach vacation.  We hope these tips help and we hope you all have an amazing Summer!

• Walk, don't run, near water. 
• Wear a life jacket, especially when you are in or near larger bodies of water.

• Always ask an adult for permission to swim.
• Have an adult watch you at all times.

• Get in the water feet first.
• Always try to swim with a buddy.

• Stay in the designated area.

• Get out of the water when you start to feel tired.
• Don't float where can't swim or put your feet down and touch the floor.
• Empty Tubs, buckets, containers, and kids' pools immediately after use.

Bug Safari

This week we had The Bug Safari come visit and the kids had a blast!  The kids got to explore in the jungle and look for bugs and insects.  Then, they got to sort them by color and number of legs or wings and talk about them.  It was definitely fun and educational.  What is your favorite insect?

 

Mother's Day Tea

We wanted to celebrate and appreciate all of the mothers out there, especially our Academy moms.  We hosted a special Mother's Day Tea including finger sandwiches, fruit, cheese & crackers, and of course sweet tea.  We also gave the kids crowns to decorate to give to their moms.  They all had so much fun.  Happy Mother's Day!

 

May The Fourth Be With You

Happy Star Wars Day!  We celebrated Star Wars Day by having a fun Grab N' Go with "light sabers" and coloring pages.  We also had so much fun dressing up as well.  Which is your favorite Star Wars character?  Which movie is your favorite?
