We are Thankful and Helpful

This week in PreK 3, our Frog Street Curriculum provides a magnet book that discusses ways we can be thankful and helpful. 

We talked about what these words mean, different contexts, spelling and how we can put them into action!

Check it out!

I am thankful for my family!

I am thankful for my pets!

I can help my friends by helping clean up!

I can help my teacher by following my school family commitment!

PUPPY FRIDAYS!

Want to know what makes Friday's extra special here at the Academy? Every Friday the Sumner County Humane Society visits our center with a special puppy that is up for adoption! Not only do our children look forward to seeing what puppy comes, our staff does as well! It's a great way to end our awesome week!


This is our sweet puppy visitor Dolly!


Our friends welcoming Dolly to their class!

Dolly loved her time with our Todd babies!


Best buds at first sight! Oh so sweet!

Learning about Light!

Our Infant Classrooms explored their senses this week by taking a few opportunities to learn about light and shadows!

Toddler Transition explored contrasting colors, shapes and textures with our homemade light table. This type of exploration builds early comprehension, increases attention and focus, and allows children to see the same objects differently.

This spider looks big!

Jesse loves squares!

This light table is fun, Ms. Jennifer!

My hand is glowing!

Bring more toys over to explore! 

Infant One gets outside time daily (weather permitting). This time provides natural Vitamin D, stimulates all our senses and allows the infants to experience early science and nature through smells, touch and sound. Check out our smiles!

This sunshine is so relaxing!

Freshly cut grass smells great!

Do you hear the birds Ms. Kelsie?

Thank you to our wonderful Infant Educators for creating such fun memories and learning opportunities!

Oh BABY!

Attachment and social emotional development are top priority in our infant program. 

Our Frog Street curriculum incorporates activities to meet these needs multiple times daily. 

Check out the smiles for proof! 

I love tummy time!

Reaching high for Ms. Kelsie! 

I love my school!

This story is funny!

Wow! I can move my arms and legs! 

That was a funny joke! :) 

Join our Infant Program wait list today to see these smiles while you're away! 

Final Water Day!

What a fun summer we've had! 

Water Day has been a splashing good time and we can't wait for next year!

What a great way to cool off and explore our senses and old school summer fun!
