National Chocolate Cake Day

 We had our first ever National Chocolate Cake Day mingle and it was a sweet success with families enjoying a delicious slice of chocolate cake with some cold milk to wash it down!  Seeing everyone take few minutes enjoying time together along with a yummy slice of cake is the why we love special gatherings and what makes AOFC the place to be. Hooray for Chocolate Cake!!

Preschool One classroom

 This week the Preschool 1 classroom has been hard at work trying to master several skills that involve hand eye coordination as well as problem solving at their learning tables each day.  Learning to use scissors is an area where many children struggle as it reqires dexterity to hold the paper to be cut and then the hand eye coordination to actually use the scissors correctly . One of the tables was scissor skill practice while the other one had play dough which helped them stregthen their hands as well as allowing them to use special scissors to cut the play dough.  Finally, using bean bags to help with coordination was a fun way to learn in between each table rotation.  We can't wait to see these newly aquired skills put to use both in the classroom and at home. 



Working on holding the scissors correctly!

We Love our Teachers

This week at AOFC we are showering our educators with lots of love as they are the backbone of our school and it would look very different here without all their creativity, love, patience, and personalities filling our classrooms.  From love notes to dinner and treats in between, we did our best to make sure that each one knew how much we love and appreciate them.   Everyday, our educators make sure that each child they encounter feels loved, heard, and appreciated  both in and outside of the classroom.  We are thankful for our Educators and all the amazing things they bring to our AOFC family! 




Love and treats!
