Teacher Appreciation Week 2019

The Academy of Cool Springs is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week this week, with our theme being The Wizard of Oz.  We have transformed our hallways so it feels like we have stepped right into the movie.  Our teachers have been showered with gifts from the parents, and each day have received a special gift from management.  We love showing our teachers how much they are loved and appreciated everyday, but we like to make it extra special during this week!

"There's No Place Like the Academy"

"Follow the Yellow Brick Road"

"We're Off to See the Wizard"

"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!"

"There's No Place Like Home"

Help the Zoo Animals!

This week our Preschool Two class is learning all about zoo animals.  They were able to work on their fine motor skills by playing a game called "Free the Zoo Animals".  Each child had a zoo animal wrapped in rubber bands, and everyone worked hard to get all of the rubber bands off of the animals and free the animals!

Toddler Egg Hunt

Today our toddler classes grabbed their bags and baskets and headed outside to look for Easter Eggs.  They looked high and low and grabbed all of the eggs!  It looks like they will be ready for egg hunts this weekend!

Look at all my eggs!

Let me see what I've got in here.

It is so hard to hold all these eggs!

Mr. Dinosaur, do you see anymore eggs?

Ta-Da! Look at my eggs!

This basket is getting heavy!

Yay! Easter Eggs!
