Winter fun is in full swing at the Academy of Gateway, and our students have been learning, moving, and celebrating together through hands-on experiences that support growth across every learning domain.
Families were greeted with smiles at pick-up during our Melted Snowman snack to go!
Our halls came alive during Storybook Character Dress-Up Day, where children stepped into their favorite characters, supporting language development, imagination, and confidence through storytelling and play. Movement stayed strong with Fitness Fanatics activities like Iceberg Hop and Winter Movement Dice, helping build gross motor skills, balance, coordination, and listening skills.
Math and prediction skills were highlighted with our Marshmallow (Snowball) Guessing Jar, encouraging early math concepts, number sense, and critical thinking. Creativity continued with beautiful snowflake crafts, strengthening fine motor skills, pattern recognition, and artistic expression.

Sensory play was a big hit with our Snow Shovel Races Sensory Bin, where children worked on sensory processing, problem-solving, and cooperative play. We also popped into fun with Popcorn Day, celebrating both our amazing staff and families and reinforcing community connection and social development.
Today, we proudly honored Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through equality-themed crafts, helping children explore kindness, fairness, respect, and social awareness in age-appropriate and meaningful ways.
What a snow-packed, joy-filled, and purposeful season it’s been at the Academy of Gateway! We love watching our students grow through play, movement, creativity, and community.
