SNOW DAYS!!!

We know the snow can throw everyone off a bit, but we LOVE getting to go to TASK!

We took advantage of the cold weather and did a fun science experiment. We each selected a small toy and put them in a cup of water and placed them outside in the snow. We determined the temp outside was 32 degrees and our water was 68 degrees. We charted our estimates of the time it would take to freeze.

It became a little competition between friends of who's would freeze faster.

The unveiling of the frozen treasures.

IT was a little cold!

This poor Smurf!

He took this experiment very seriously.

So proud!

How long?

Frozen fish

What a great group activity!

It ended up taking about 3 hours. We loved showing everyone our frozen surprises!

WHY T.A.S.K?

At The Academy, we truly believe that our children are, in fact, our FUTURE. Because of that belief, we understand the important job we have to positively influence that future. T.A.S.K. Groups at the Activity Zone are NOT your average school age program groups. Here, your children will be anything but bored; they will be inspired, encouraged, and given a unique opportunity to learn about our world. T.A.S.K. is happy to provide quality care for children Kindergarten through 12 years old. THE VISION: The vision of the T.A.S.K. program is to be the number one before and after school provider for school-age children in the area by providing quality education in a more intimate family environment where children can learn, explore, and succeed in the world around them. THE MISSION: Our mission in the T.A.S.K. program is to provide daily educational experiences and guidance to inspire and encourage each child to be confident, knowledgeable, responsible and productive citizens in their schools, classrooms and community.
