It was bike day at AOFC and it by far is the most favorite of days because whether they could ride a bike a scooter, tricycle, big wheel and everything in between it got to come to school for bike day! We had friends that were pros on two wheels and some just starting out but everyone was having a blast riding around, racing each other and checking out each others cool wheels. Bikes, trikes and scooters were doing laps all while smiles, squeals and lots of laughter filled the air. We love bike day at AOFC!

March and St Patricks Day fun!
Aofc was bringing in March with lots of fun with sensory activities, some special grab n' go's and tricks from the Leprechaun in each classroom. Lots of friends wore green so they wouldn't get pinched, they looked for gold coins and even enjoyed milk dyed green from the tricky Leprechaun with some other treats thrown in! Our friends love the silly mess that happens in the classroom when the Leprechaun visits as well as the other St Patrick's day activities celebrated during that week. We love treats, silly tricks and all the fun March has to offer.

Dr Seuss and Read Across America Week
We are celebrating all things Dr Seuss this week in honor of his birthday March 2nd as well as Read Across America Week. The National Education Association ( N.E.A.) encourages reading as well as educating people about it's benefits, especially among children and young adults and this is done by celebrating Read Across America from March 2- March 6th. Dr Seuss made such an impact on the world with his over 60 books that when RAA was launched in 1998 it was declared that March 2nd would be Read Across America Day in honor of Dr Seuss's Birthday and kick off a week of reading that would be celebrated even today!
Our week started with a fun sensory bin representing Horton Hears Who with puffs and playdough, Truffula trees fork painting, Crazy hair day, a special reading of the Cat in Hat and then ending with a Lorax Grab n' Go. The love of reading is strong at AOFC and we loved kicking off our own Read Across America week celebrating Dr Suess!!

We love our Teachers week!
The week of Valentines was a very special week at AOFC where we not only celebrated love but we celebrated our incredible teachers and all they do for our school each and every day. There were special lunches, treats delivered to classroom, love notes from their students and most of all lots of love and hugs for everyone especially the teachers! Our school would not be the place that it is without the love and creativity that the teachers pour into their classrooms and students! We love our teachers at AOFC!

February kick- off
It's February and while that may include Groundhogs, Hearts, and Valentines there is lots of learning that goes on as well. Each classroom got the opportunity to eat lunch with Chopsticks, there will be a Valentine Freeze dance and several sensory activities just this week and we will round out the month with plenty more Valentine related celebrations, activities, and Grab n' Go's. Then to help us round out both Black History month and February we will learn about Garrett Morgan who invented the stoplight. AOFC learns and loves the month of February!

The Great Snowman Build off
At AOFC in these cold temperatures it is only fitting to have a Snowman build off with whatever materials or form of Snowman that you chose and we had quite the selection from a T-rex snowman to a snowman made of yarn and even a picture of a Snowman built to be a fireman from the recent Snowy weather we just had! We love seeing all the entries and the sweet families plus kiddos who ran to visit the special Snowmen each night!! AOFC is so lucky to have so many creative and amazing families!

Playground Snowball Fight
We had an Epic snowball fight on the playground this week to help us ring in the impending snowy weather. Even the Toddlers got in on the action throwing snowballs through the fence to the big kids who would then throw them back! Fun was had by all and new found skills throwing snowballs will likely get put to good use in these few weeks! We love snow and snowballs at AOFC!
