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!☀️❤️ 

Outdoor Painting Fun!

 

Outdoor Painting Fun!

This week, our preschool artists took creativity outside for a colorful outdoor painting adventure! The children had an amazing time exploring colors, creating masterpieces, and expressing themselves through art in the fresh air.

With paintbrushes in hand and big imaginations at work, students experimented with mixing colors to discover new shades and combinations. There were lots of excited smiles as blue and yellow became green, red and white turned pink, and every painting became uniquely their own. Watching their curiosity and creativity come to life was truly special!

Outdoor painting gives children the freedom to explore art in a fun, hands-on way while also building important skills like fine motor development, problem-solving, and self-expression. Most importantly, it allows them to have fun and feel proud of their creations.

Our students absolutely loved letting their creative juices flow and showing off their colorful masterpieces. We are so proud of their enthusiasm, imagination, and willingness to try new things!

Be sure to ask your child about their favorite part of our outdoor painting day — and maybe even try a painting activity together at home! 🎨💚
