Christmas Deco at AOFC

We are getting into the Christmas spirit here at AOFC and nothing says Christmas like a little friendly competition and our teachers certainly brought it with all the amazing door decorations! We took a walk to Whoville and then saw Snoopy and his buddy Charlie Brown and then there was an amazing ride on the Polar Express! There were so many great doors it was hard to decide which one was our favorite and everyone worked so hard! The holidays are such a festive time of year and our teachers are really showing all of their Christmas spirit in the classrooms! If we can't decide on our favorite can you?!

Welcome to Whoville!

Those babies are so cute!

Such a pretty present !

Selfies!

Take a ride on the Polar Express!

All Aboard!!

Its the Grinch finding his Christmas Spirit!

Charlie Brown and Snoopy!

Happy Holidays to you!

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!

So sweet!

Pk 2 is very thankful for family, school, brothers, sisters, etc..

Very Sweet indeed !

Such Kindness!

Many amazing things to be thankful for!

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?

Trunk or Treat at AOFC

We have been anxiously awaiting our Fourth Annual Trunk or Treat all month and all of the participants really brought their A game to win the title of favorite trunk and a one hundred dollar gift card to Publix! The teachers voted on their favorites and there were so many awesome ones it was really hard to narrow it down to just one! It wouldn't be trunk or treat without Captain America, Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Skeletons, Fireman, witches and many others that visited all the amazing trunks this morning! It was so much fun seeing all our friends dressed up and excited to trunk or treat with their class! We loved all the fun art projects, dress up days and grab n go's leading up to today! Happy Halloween!
