Germs!

This month we learned about germs and how handwashing can help stop the spread of germs! Our friends had the opportunity to see the germs on their hands with the help of black lights! It was so great for children to have a visual representation of germs so they can really grasp the importance of handwashing, especially during flu season! 

Santa and The Grinch Came To Town!

We had some special visitors at the Academy of Harpeth Village! Santa and the Grinch came to visit our friends! Some friends enjoyed the visit more than others! Nevertheless, we loved having these special visitors come and spread holiday cheer! 

Holiday Fun!

The holiday spirit is in full swing at the Academy of Harpeth Village! We have a ton of fun decorations all over the building! Our Infant 3 friends also had a fun photo shoot with reindeer ears! We also brought back our angel tree to help those in need this holiday season! 

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Science Exploration!

 Today our Preschool 4 class engaged in some scientific exploration! They had the opportunity to explore the properties of snake skin! They also worked on early math skills by comparing and contrasting the length of the snake skin to their height! What fun! 

It's Turkey Time!

We celebrated Thanksgiving with our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon! The kids and parents loved being able to eat a special lunch with each other! We are so thankful for all the members of our school community! Happy Thanksgiving! 

Snow Much Fun!

Our Infant 3 class made the best of the snowy day by enjoying snow sensory bins! The children had the opportunity to explore the various properties of snow! The children loved exploring the snow! What fun!

Giving Back To The Community!

During this season we like to take time to reflect on ways to give back to the community! This year, we decided to donate socks to those in need! Did you know that socks are the most needed, but least donated article of clothing in homeless shelters? We are donating the socks to Room In The Inn, a local nonprofit that provides shelter for the homeless! We have loved working together to give back to the community!

Trunk or Treat!

This weekend we had our annual Trunk or Treat Fall Festival! Even though it rained, that didn't stop us from having a good time! We moved the party indoors and the teachers decorated doors instead! We had so much fun coming together as a school community to enjoy a magic show, bounce houses, good food, music, fun games, and most importantly candy! We loved seeing all the members of our school community dressed up in their costumes! We had so much fun and can't wait until next year!
