This past week here @The Academy of Harpeth Village we went Under the Sea. We started our week out with ocean themed sensory boxes. Then we enjoyed Mother Goose teaching us about the ocean and sea creatures. After that we read Clark the Shark and did activities to help us retell the story. Then we finished our week off with Water Day and a Finding Nemo Scavenger Hunt.
This week our theme was Camp Academy here @ AOHV. We enjoyed tents in the classrooms, doing special snack projects, art projects and so much more. Camping can help children learn and develop many life skills.
Confidence: Allow the children to learn how to take care of themselves and contribute to the group and the well being of everyone else in a safe environment.
Confidence
As children learn new things and have new experiences they grow more confident. Confidence helps children explore new opportunities.
Social Skills
Children develop social skills that are important for social/emotional and mental stability.
Communication Skills
Understanding when and where activities are taking place, and what they are expected to do.
Creativity
Camping can encourage children to use their imaginations.
Appreciation of Nature
Camping can help children explore their senses and learn about nature
We had so much fun celebrating America and learning about our American heritage. The children had fun making hats, having a parade, making flags and learning what the flag represents. They also learned about our nations heroes, what freedom and independence means. Happy 4th of July from All of Us at AOHV!
