Being green at AOFC

 We are all about the green scene here at AOFC from planting seeds and forming a hypothesis about how long it will take the seeds to sprout, celebrating Earth Day while having a special snack and enjoying all things that the trees, grass and dirt offer outside.   Learing about how plants grow , taking care of them and finding out what the seeds will produce is the most exciting part of the whole process.   Taking care of the Earth is a very special and important job that our AOFC families cherish each day.  We love being green! 

 They are growing! 

Look  a tiny bug! 

Delicious "dirt" snack for Earth Day!

Who knew "dirt' was so yummy?!

Easter Festivities

 We have been busy the last few days at AOFC celebrating Easter with all kinds of fun activities like an Easter party with the Easter Bunny,  all kinds of yummy treats and fun crafts as well as a huge Easter egg hunt with Eggs galore! Everyone had so much fun running, finding and filling up baskets with Eggs and squealing with excitement ready to check out all cool little treats in each one. It was the best week ever and we look forward to the upcoming Easter holiday! Happy Easter everyone!

Bike day!

 It's the best of the week here at AOFC, it's Bike Day, definitely the most coveted of all our activities. We had everything from scooters, trikes and two wheeled bikes and all the kids were having a blast and yelling "We love bike day" as they rode around the special bike day loop!  It was the best day and we love seeing sweet friends help each other up after falling and giving a thumbs up when they did well! AOFC loves bike day!

Spring is in the air

 We are excited that the feeling of Spring is in the air, from the trees starting to bloom and temperatures getting warmer , our kids love to see what kind of flower petal and bug have landed on the playground for them to smell as well as explore! Learning is fun when spring showers bring out worms, lady bugs, fallen flower petals and all sorts of other treasures to explore.  Spring is one of our favorite seasons at AOFC! 

Cheese! 

Flowers are blooming! 

Looking for worms!

Do they smell good?! 

Sweet boy! 

Loving being outside!

St Patricks activities

We have had great week leading up to St Patricks Day with all kinds of fun activities like making St Patrick's Day bracelets, a leprechaun bait grab and go,  a gold coin guessing game and finally a leprechan trap contest. We can't wait to see what kind of trouble the leprechaun gets into on St Patrick's Day in each of our classrooms!  Our kids are so excited to not only wear green but to see what kind of tricks and treats, St Patricks Day will bring!
