Pre-K Prom 2019

Last Friday night was one to remember!  It was our annual Pre-K Prom where we celebrate our soon-to-be graduates.  This year's theme was Wizard of Oz!  Children dressed as their favorite character and came ready to party!  They entered through the "tornado" and came out on to the yellow brick road.  Then they met all teachers who were also dressed as movie characters!  They got to eat, drink, made their own tornado in a jar, and dance the night away.  It was SO MUCH FUN! Enjoy the pics!

You are cordially invited to...

Enter the tornado...if you dare!

Watch for the wind!

We also showcased our summer Kindergarten Boot Camp program.

Parents were able to get their packet of information, upcoming school calendar, and "enlist" for this award-winning program.

We also discussed our first ever graduation field trip to Chuck E. Cheese!

All the teachers got really excited for this theme!

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!

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!

Itsy Bitsy Spider Dance

Pre-K Two was learning all about spiders and how to do the Itsy Bitsy Spider Dance.  They practiced their dance while working their way through a homemade spider web inside of their classroom!
