Happy St. Pattys Day!

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day from AOHV! We had so much fun celebrating this holiday at our school! From wearing green, our classroom activities/crafts and even green colored snacks! We made silly leprechaun crafts, and many of our classrooms even went on leprechaun hunts with their traps to catch him! Our teachers made this day so fun and created many lasting memories for all the kiddos! We read stories, sang songs, danced with our friends! At pickup our kiddos left with a delicious shamrock shake to end the school day with! It was a happy, giggly day full of crafts, games and even a little bit of magic!

We're Feeling Lucky

This week at AOHV we created many lucky crafts for St. Patrick's Day! Doing these fun themed crafts with preschoolers is always full of excitement, creativity, and lots of giggles! Our kiddos loved using different shades of green, gold, glitter and the colors of the rainbow to make shamrocks, leprechaun art and rainbows! As they cut, glue, and decorate they all let their imaginations run wild! We love when our rooms fill up with laughter, sticky hands, and proud smiles as each child shows off their unique creations! 

Read Across America Week!

During this week we celebrated “Read Across America Week” in honor of the amazing author Dr. Seuss! To honor his wonderful, silly books we had Dr. Seuss spirit week! 

Monday was Twin day for Thing 1 and Thing 2 in "The Cat in the Hat"! Tuesday was Terrific Top Hat day for The Cat in the Hat and his fabulous top hat! Wednesday was Wacky Wednesday for the book and all the fun it shows us to have! Thursday was Theodore day and dress up as your favorite character! Finally Friday was fun sock day for “Fox in Socks”! We loved being able to have this kind of fun with our kiddos and inspire them to read and embrace the silly! 

                                          

Happy Chinese New Year!

 Here at the Academy we love to learn about all different types of cultures like; Chinese New Year! Last week was all about Chinese New Year, we started the week off with paper Chinese dragons, a Chinese sensory bin, paper lanterns and so much more. Our Toddler 2 friends were so proud of the lanterns they made, they even tried to throw them in the air and pretend to watch them float away! Learning about all types of cultures is so important for growing minds, it shows children that not everyone comes from the same background or even have the same experiences, but that everyone is special and different in their own ways! Here at AOHV we love learning and providing experiences for children to be able to explore different cultures and see how fun and interesting the world can be! 

Happy Valentines Day AOHV

What better way to spread love and joy all through the school ; like Valentines Day! How we celebrated Valentines day here at AOHV was by card exchanges with friends, V-day parties with our friends and families and all the hugs and love! We also gave our teachers little sweetheart bags for always having such caring hearts and loving these children so much! We couldn't be more thankful for all the staff and families we have here at AOHV! We loved being able to create these special moments for all our kids here and show these families how much love we have for them! Happy Valentines Day! 

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink!

 

On Wednesdays we wear PINK for the month of love, friendship, kindness and so much more! During all of the months we love to do dress up days, especially February! We asked our school to wear pink and valentines colors and they did not disappoint. Our school loves to be able to have fun days like this that help make the preschool memories last forever! During this month we fill the days with Valentines crafts, parties, friendship cards and all the fun! 

Woot Woot Wednesday

 Here at AOHV we love our teachers and we love to show appreciation to them by many ways, but one of them is called "Woot Woot Wednesday"! Woot Woot Wednesday ranges from a special treat all the way to catered lunch! A teacher favorite is "Oatmeal Bar" day, our amazing management team sets up an oatmeal bar with all kinds of toppings that we know our teachers love! Its a great way to kick start their morning and put a smile on their faces! We love every single teacher here and all that they do each and every day for our school. They have so much love and dedication and we want them to know how much they mean to us. At the Academy of Harpeth Village we wouldn't be us without our teachers and support staff, they make us, us! Our teachers and support staff are out core and we are proud to let others know how much they mean to us! 

Sparkle and Shine

Here at AOHV we love having special guest come and talk to our kiddos about all kinds of things, especially the importance of teeth health! Our local dentistry Little Harpeth came and talked to our children about the importance of brushing and flossing! They had an interactive game that helped the children recognize "good food" for your teeth and "not so good food" for your teeth. They also provided a tooth brush for every child in our school, it was amazing to see how excited the children were to pick out their own! We loved having Little Harpeth Dentistry come to our school and make a random day a very special and fun day for all our kiddos!
