What we are thankful at AOFC!

 The staff  here at The Academy of Forrest Crossing are amazing and they work super hard to love, teach and keep the kids safe every hour of everyday there are here!! We have a lot to be thankful for this year even though times have been challenging and downright depressing there have been bright spots that have shown through even in the toughest of times and I thought writing down what we are thankful for would keep those bright spots shining!! Each of the staff had a leaf to write down what they were thankful for on and then post in our break room so we could all look at what each person wrote down and there were lots of warm fuzzy feelings floating around after that for sure! Our Pre K 2 class had lots of things they were thankful for as well and their sweet hearts on the bulletin board said it all! 

This is what the staff at AOFC is thankful for !

We are too! 

It is the best hands down!

PS 3 adopts a Sea Turtle

 Our Ps 3 class has had the amazing opportunity provided by a parent of a student in the class, to adopt a rescued sea turtle named Rebel. The kids received a special package last week with a book about sea turtles, a certificate for their class declaring  his adoption, an information sheet all about Rebel and finally a picture of their special friend! Rebel lives at The Turtle Hospital in Marathon Fl and he was injured by a boat and can no longer use his back flippers and it damaged his shell at bit but he is in great care at the hospital. The adoption is for a the whole school year and Rebel will write them letters letting them know how and what he is doing each day. What a special thing for the kids in Ps 3 to look forward to and get to learn all about sea turtles straight from the source !

Election day at AOFC!

 Election day is a huge day across our country and a very important day in our Prek 1 and Prek 2  classes as they got to cast their ballot for President and decide what they would have for lunch Wednesday in class. In a landslide vote, mac and cheese won for lunch vs chicken nuggets and the majority vote for President was Trump in both classes. Pre K learned to use a ballot box to cast their votes as well as a lesson on polls and what happens when you win and when you lose. There was lots of excitement as the winner was announced for both lunch and the President. 

The voting booth is ready?
