October Happenings

Bring out the cozy blankets, make some hot chocolate, and buy a pumpkin!! Fall is finally here! We are so excited about all of the fun things going on at The Academy of Forrest Crossing this Fall. Between special snacks, dress up days, and Halloween events, your kiddos are sure to have a blast! October has just begun but we are in full Fall mode. Check out some of the fun and exciting things going on at AoFC this month! 


October 8-12 is Fire Safety Week at AoFC! We will learn all about how to stay safe during a fire emergency. On October 15th the Franklin Fire Department will visit us to teach us more about fire safety! HERE is a link to some useful fire safety resources for kiddos! 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We will all dress in pink on October 17th to show our support! 

What would October be without Halloween?? This month we have some yummy halloween treats as snacks and as grab n' gos. On October 18th, we will have popcorn hands available to pick up in the enrichment room in the afternoon. On October 25th, we will have monster pudding cups as a special snack! Click HERE to see what other spooky snacks you can make with your kiddo!


 We will be having a pumpkin decorating contest. Each class will decorate a pumpkin and then families will vote on their favorite one! We can't wait to see what our educators and kiddos come up with. Check out some cool decorating ideas HERE that you can do at home this Fall! 

Here at AoFC we LOVE to read! On October 22nd, we will read The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin and eat a special snack. Although Spookley is one of our all time faves, there are tons of other (not too) spooky halloween books to read with your kiddos! Click HERE to check them out! 

Don't forget to join us on October 26th for our Fall Festival. Your family will be able to enjoy train rides, pumpkin decorating, face painting, a bounce house, a popcorn bar and so much more! I hear there will also be some really great prizes and giveaways! 

It's time to get our hands messy! On October 29th we will explore pumpkin guts and learn about what's inside a pumpkin. HERE are some more cool Fall science experiments you can do at home! 

WAIT JUST A MINUTE!! Not one, not two, but THREE EVENTS in one day!!! 
On October 31st we will welcome in all of our spooky, spectacular friends dressed in their best halloween costume. Then we will all parade out to the parking lot for trunk or treating! After that we will come back inside for a delicious parent-made lunch! We cannot WAIT!!
