Safari Obstacle Course for Hump Day Celebration


Every Wednesday we celebrate with a hump day celebration. This week our families enjoyed a Safari Obstacle Course as they picked up the children. 
We bounced on lily pads to the hippo...
We fed the hippo by throwing balls in his mouth.....
After limbo under the vines we walked on rocks over quicksand...
Finally we fished for snakes before we headed home. Safari Obstacle Course was a fun way to celebrate Hump Day.

YMCA Lifeguard Visits AoG

On Monday, June 9th our AoG kids were excited to listen to the YMCA Lifeguard speak about water safety! She started with a short video of Timon and Pumba from the Lion King discussing how to swim and floatation devices used for safety. Their faces lit up when they saw some of their favorite characters talking about one of their favorite activities for the summer! Many of the children connected the discussion with their real life experiences such as swim lessons they are currently taking or even AoG's weekly water day!


At the end of the visit, the lifeguard asked for volunteers to come on the stage and sing "5 Little Speckled Frogs" with her. We had many volunteers! The children loved singing and jumping off of the "log" and back into the "water"!




The lifeguard provided each child with lots of very useful information and their own water safety coloring book! We really enjoyed the lifeguard's visit and thank her for her wonderful presentation!

Sno Cone Day at AoG

This was a great week at AoG celebrating Island Ivasion. Lots of fun was had in the classrooms and throughout the school. All our friends dressed up in the coolest beach wear, they constructed their own palm tree snack, and the halls are filled with all of our friends tropical art work. 
To end a great week we all had sno cones in the enrichment room with our new Assistant Director Jessica while we listened to fun island music. Academy Summer is in fill swing!
