All About Me: Celebrating Our Children & Families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨

 Goodbye September, hello August! 🍂✨

We had a fun month here at The Academy of Cool Springs! This month was all about US! 💕 We started off strong with self portraits. Our Pre-K students used a variety of materials to create their own little masterpieces, our very own little Picassos! 🎨🖌️

It was so much fun watching their creativity shine as they explored colors, textures, and different ways to express themselves. We’re so proud of each and every one of our little artists! 💛

Our preschoolers are loving jumping back into Frog Street this month! 🐸💚 They’re building important skills across all areas of development, including social-emotional, language, cognitive, and physical development.

Story time is always a favorite! 📚✨ Our little learners are enjoying reading and exploring books all about US, learning more about themselves, their friends, and what makes each of us so special. We love watching their curiosity and excitement grow with every story! 💕

We had so much fun celebrating Hat Day as a school! Our Pre-K friends definitely showed out with some of the cutest and most creative hats. 🎉💛

And let’s just say, those hats definitely came in handy while we were outside enjoying some fun on the playground! ☀️🛝 Our little friends had a great time showing off their hats and enjoying some fresh air and playtime with their friends! 💕

We officially welcomed fall with a fun and creative apple stamping activity! Our Pre-K friends dipped apples into paint and created their own colorful fall masterpieces. 🎨

This hands on activity encouraged creativity while helping our little learners strengthen their fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, and ability to make choices. Most importantly, they had so much fun exploring, creating, and celebrating the new season together!

We’re excited for all the fun fall adventures ahead! 🍂🍎

Which brings us to our next fun fall activity! 🍂 Our Pre-K friends had a blast exploring a fall themed sensory bin filled with colorful pompoms. 🍁🧡 They scooped, sorted, and explored the different textures while using their imaginations and fine-motor skills. It was a simple activity filled with lots of hands on learning and fun! ✨

We’re closing out our All About Me month with something very special a beautiful portrait wall celebrating the families in our Academy of Cool Springs community! 💕👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Our little learners were so proud to share their families with us. This special display reminds us that every family is unique, special, and an important part of who we are. What a wonderful way to wrap up a month all about celebrating US! ✨

September Fun at AoCS

 September is flying by, and we've been making the most of every moment here at The Academy of Cool Springs! From cozy pajamas to exciting visitors, our classrooms have been full of learning, laughter, and lots of fun.

We got extra cozy for Pajama Day! Our little learners enjoyed spending the day in their favorite pajamas while making sweet memories with their friends and teachers. 

Our classrooms have been busy with hands on activities, creative play, and plenty of opportunities to explore. We love watching our students learn, grow, and use their imaginations while they play! 

Our amazing team! We're so thankful for the incredible team that makes The Academy of Cool Springs such a special place. Our teachers and staff pour so much love, patience, and energy into our students every single day. We are proud to call this team ours! 

Our little scientists got to explore with a fun milk experiment! Making Ice cream in a bag!! We love turning everyday moments into opportunities to wonder, discover, and learn!

We even had a special visit from Spider- Girl Gwen! Our friends were so excited to see their favorite superhero! What's better than a superhero and a good book? 

September has already brought so many smiles, laughter, and fun. We're looking forward to more learning, more adventures, and plenty more memories to make together. 

🌈 Goodbye August, Hello September! 🍎📚

 As August comes to an end, we're soaking up all the fun, learning, and sweet memories we've made together! This month has been filled with busy little hands, big imagination, lots of laughter, and plenty of opportunities for our friends to learn through play! 

Preschool has been getting creative with lots of art! From colorful projects to process-art activities, our friends have been encouraged to use their imagination, experiment with different materials, and most importantly have fun! 

One Friday we had a Dance at drop off and oh boy was that a blast! The dancing lasted all morning long with  a dance party in our Pre-K class with some cool sunglasses! 

Of course, no preschool week would be complete without plenty of time outside! Our friends have been running, climbing, exploring, and enjoying the sunshine with their friends. Outdoor play gives out little learners the chance to build gross motor skills, practice cooperation, develop confidence, and simply enjoy being kids. We love watching them turn the playground into an entire word of adventures! 

We also had some fun putting our Pre-K knowledge to the test with "Are you smarter than a Pre-K student?" trivia! There were plenty of smiles, laughs, and some surprisingly impressive answers! 

And just like that..... August is coming to a close! We're saying goodbye to another fun filled month and welcoming September with open arms! 

July Recap into August!

 July was full of learning, laughter, creativity, and so many hands on experiences! From celebrating many millstones to exploring science, art, movement, and everything in between, our classrooms stayed busy making memories all month long. 

With bright color, festive activities and lots of laughter and smiles we said a fare well to our graduates with a fiesta party!

We also had avery special graduation celebration! We are so proud of our little graduates and all they have accomplished. Watching them grow, learn, and reach these big milestones is one of the sweetest parts of what we do! 

And our staff got in on the fun, too! During space week, our teachers transformed into astronauts and helped make learning about space exciting and memorable. 

Our little scientists had an amazing time during our science show, learning about he sun and how the planets orbit around it. The children even got to act it out themselves by becoming the planets and orbiting around. 

Learning continued outside as our children got their hands dirty with enrichment planting flowers. They explored nature, practiced caring for living things, and watched their hard work come to life. 

Our Krafty Kids activities brought out everyone's creativity! From drawing and cutting to creating pizzas using different shapes, our children were learning while having fun. Who knew a little paper and imagination could turn into such delicious looking pizza?

Our toddlers joined in on the fun during space week, too! They explored colors and creativity through painting while making their own inspired masterpieces. 

Science got a little splashy with our popsicle boats! The children experimented with different materials and even worked together to build their own boats. They made predictions, tested their ideas and discovered what would float and what would sink.

We also showed off our team spirit with jersey day! Our classrooms were filled with little sports fans representing their favorite teams and showing off their jerseys. 

Our children had a blast playing indoor tennis using homemade rackets and balloons. It was the perfect way to get moving, practice coordination, and have a whole lot of fun! 

From science and nature to art, movement, celebrations, and imaginative play, our children were laughing through every experience and having fun while doing it! 

A look back a June's summer fun! ☀️🫧

Goodbye, June....Hello, July!! 

What a fun filled month June was at our school! We packed each day with exciting activities, laughter, learning, and plenty of unforgettable memories. As we say goodbye to June and welcome July, we're looking back at some of our favorite moments! 

Our little learners enjoyed our Grab-n-go days, where they took home fun treats and smiles to share with their families. Cafeteria day was a big hit, giving our future kindergartners something delicious to enjoy together while making special memories with friends.

The excitement continued with bike day, as our children proudly rode their bikes and scooters, building confidence while having an absolute blast! We also cooled off during our favorite day of the week Fridays with WATER DAY! splashing, laughing, and making the most of the summer sunshine. 

One of the highlights of the month was Camp Academy Week, where our classrooms were transformed into cozy campsites! From sleeping in tents and participating in fun camped themed activities to exploring, creating, and using their imaginations, our campers had an amazing adventure right inside the classroom. 

Of course, in between all of our themed days, there were countless moments of learning, friendships growing, creative play, and lots of smiles. Whether they were building, creating, exploring, or simply enjoying time with their classmates, every day was filled with opportunities to learn through play.

Hello, July lets make even more memories together!☀️❤️
