Eat Your Heart Out (Thanksgiving Feast)

Last week here at AoFC we hosted our 2nd annual Thanksgiving Feast! All our families and their extended family were invited to attend and eat their hearts out! We're so glad most of them came on empty stomachs because it was a feast indeed! We had turkey, dressing, mac & cheese, rolls, green bean casserole, and more! The turnout was amazing and we were glad to see everyone in attendance! From our family to yours HAPPY THANKSGIVING!


If you build it they will come! Ready for our guests!

Yummy! Food, food, and more food!

Vision Screenings

The Tennessee Lions Eye Center, with the help of Lions Club members across the state have an Outreach Program that provides free vision screening to identify children with eye problems. The volunteers are trained at Children's Hospital to screen your child (age on through five) for vision problems. These volunteers will then come to your local facility to conduct the free screen. The results are evaluated and then returned to the screening location. If your child is referred with a potential vision problem, you will receive a parent to-do list and a list of eye care professionals in your area who are familiar with the Outreach Program and are able to evaluate your child. The entire process noninvasive and is usually completed within 60 seconds or less. 


Not to worry if one of our kiddos is feeling a little weary one of their teachers can sit with them!

Smileys! The kids look at the smiley face for a few seconds and all done!

We were so excited to get our eyes checked! And look at our cool stickers!

On our way to get our eyes checked! How cute are we?

All done and ready for a sticker! Thank you!

Completely noninvasive, just a quick point at their eyes and then all done!

This guy was super excited and so ready to get his eyes checked!

Cheeessseee! Good to go and sticker seal of approval!

Teacher Feature (PS2 Ms. Amanda)

Every now and then we like to do what we call a "teacher feature." Its when we shine a spotlight on one of our many brilliant, kind, and caring teachers that we have here with us! At AoFC, we have been really lucky to find some great teachers who love teaching and love, love, love being with your kiddos on a daily basis. This week, we are shining our spotlight on Ms. Amanda who is our Preschool 2 Lead Teacher. Ms. Amanda exemplifies everything we look for in a teacher. She is always  participating with the kids, making daily commitments alongside the kiddos, is sure to engage the children during circle time and so much more!

In the morning we always do our wish you well board. If our friends aren't here we put their picture inside the heart! 


 After we wish our friends well we make our daily commitments! Check out our cool commitment box!

We each take our own picture and make a commitment. We get to look at our pictures and say "I will use my kind hands"!

We break up into groups for our activity after stories! They love being called chipmunks, squirrels, groundhogs, or gophers! 

The groundhogs are hard at work. They are learning about sorting!

Did you see our job chart? Well everyone loves being the greeter!

Check out the gophers working in their small group. Their working on sorting by BIG and small!

Sensory activities are always a hit! Shaving cream sensory is one of our favorites!
