Dental Health Month

February is Dental Health Awareness Month! The children have loved learning about their teeth and how to keep them shiny and bright! The children worked on flossing and cleaning their teeth in the class. We also had a fun take home activity that allowed the children to work with their parents sorting healthy and unhealthy foods for their teeth! 

Special Guest - Jill Thatcher

 What a fun way to start the week! We had Jill Thatcher as our special guest for our Pre K children! She is a puppeteer and ventriloquist. The children joined along with singing and acting, and they even heard a few jokes during her show! They showed off their wonderful listening skills and stayed entertained throughout the show! 

Love, Love, Love

It was a fun and festive Valentine's Day at The Academy of Cool Springs.  Everyone was dressed in their Valentine's colors and we had so much fun doing crafts, exchanging valentines, and 

enjoying some yummy snacks at their parties!  

On The Go!!

This month's  Toddler curriculum was On The Go! Every week they learnt about something different. Week one they spoke about Tricycle and Wagons, week two was Trains and airplanes, week three was Boats and Ships and week four was Car, Trucks and buses. Our toddler educators have so much fun with this months lessons because there's so much you can do. They learnt about all the different sounds each transportation makes, how they move and what we use them for. They flu like airplanes, and went on wagon and tricycle ride. We sang wheels on the bus and row row your boat. The week of boat and ships, they did a boat water sensory play. 

 

 Gold  Sneaker Initiative 

Gold Sneaker initiative is trying to encourage appropriate nutrition and physical activity for different age groups. Proper nutrition and physical activity will not only have an immediate benefit but will also have a long-term impact on their well-being as adults. When families chooses to bring their own lunch and snacks, our health and wellness co-ordinator makes sure the child has all the proper portions of food. We ensure appropriate feeding patterns, including adequate time for meal consumptions. We promote a positive attitude to food and maintain a tobacco free school.All our staff have great knowledge on gold sneaker initiative; hence the reason we always tell our parents to dress their kids appropriately for the weather. If we cannot go outside due to the weather, every classroom is fully equipped to still do indoor gross motor skills activity..
