Fitness Fanatics Special Guest

We wrap up our annual Fitness Fanatics program with one final special guest.  LPG Sports Academy came out to host a baseball camp at our school.  We warmed right up in the chilly weather with all the fun games they had set up for us.  It was a blast!  We got to work our big muscles with running, catching, throwing, etc.  And we worked our brain muscles with color recognition games, math and more!

Thanks, LPG Sports Academy, for visiting us at The Academy of Cool Springs.  For more information on LPG Sports Academy and the services they offer young children visit www.lpgsportsnashville.com

Wacky Work-Out Clothes

We're Fitness FANATICS in our wacky work-out gear!  See those muscles?  Watch out world!  We've been learning all about keeping our bodies strong and healthy this month.

Big, Bad, Nasty GERMS!

In preschool we encourage everyone to share.  But the only thing we don't want to be shared is GERMS!  It's the started of the big, bad flu season.  So in preparation we had two visitors from our local health department come out and offer a presentation on germ prevention. 

They read a book to our students then preformed a cool experiment!  The rubbed lotion on their hands to represent germs.  Then they washed their hands and used the black light again to show if the germs had been washed away or if they were still there.  It was a very memorable teaching moment that I'm sure will stick with the kids. 

Hopefully the lesson will stick so the germs won't!   The best prevention for spreading germs?  Wash your hands!

Karate Demo

We are so thankful to Family First Martial Arts for coming to visit us during our Fitness Fanatics Month.  They taught us about staying healthy and active.  They also talked about discipline and keeping each other safe.  These principles align with our social/emotional curriculum, Conscious Discipline.  That is based on the foundation that we are all a school family and must take care of each other.  The children all listened intently to every word.  What a great special guest!  Thank you, Family First Martial Arts, for coming to visit.

Voting On Our Healthy Lunch

This month is our annual Fitness Fanatics program where we focus on healthy habits for life.  Today we voted on our favorite healthy lunch to have next Tuesday. Turkey meatballs won in a landslide!  Everyone loves meatball day so we were not surprised when they won.  We will eat those with rice and fresh strawberries.  Yummy...and healthy!
