SNOW DAY!!!

We had a fun filled snow day without any snow!! But it was so fun to get to see all of our friends right before Valentine's!! We made cards for our parents, puppy dog puppets, and love bug art pieces!!

100 Days of School, Classroom Crafted Pudding, & getting ready for some love!

This past week at AOHC TASK we stayed busy with all sorts of fun activities! It was the kids 100 Days of schools and so one of my creative kids decided he would go to school OLD!

Later that week we made pudding for kitchen tools day!

On Friday we started getting for Valentine's Day, we talked about love and the different kinds of love! Then we made our love bugs to hang on bulletin board as our 3d art!!

Pretending to own a zoo

This week the kids pretended to own their own zoo! They had to feed the animals and make sure that their animals fences were still up and maintained. One of my kindergartners said he was glad to put up the animals on Friday because caring for a zoo was a lot of work!

Winter Break

Winter Break in TASK was so awesome!!! We made all kinds of crafts and then we were able to spend a few more days together so we made Snowmen! We also got a chance to try out the new curriculum of pretending!! Inside gross motor was a lot of fun especially when we get to break the rules so we can run inside!

Christmas Play Friends

The kids did an AMAZING job at the Christmas Play this week!! I am one extremely proud teacher!! I cannot wait to put more of the pictures of the performance up soon!!

But for now here are some backstage friend shots!!

Buddy the Elf

I am pleased to introduce Buddy the Elf!! He is cousin to the Elf on the Shelf but he is the Elf for school classrooms but still just as mischievous! This morning when I left to take the kiddo's to school I came back to a mess all over the project table!! Somehow he managed to get the homemade sensory snow all over the table, I guess when he was making his snow angel! I cannot wait to see what he does on Monday when we take the kids to school!

Then Buddy didn't think he had caused enough trouble so he left a note for the kids!

Donations these Holidays

This Thanksgiving TASK got to participate in two donation drives! AOHC did a canned food drive and Task was able to collect from the classes, so that all of the cans were together and ready to send off to help the families of the community. TASK has also set up there own donation drive by collecting coats for kids. The TASK kids have learned that they are very fortunate to have all the luxuries that other children do not, and the kids also got to get on the computer to make their posters and flyers. In our coats for kids drive the kids collected 17 coats from youth sizes to adult sizes!

We are so proud of these kids for how much they are growing and learning! It is amazing to watch these kids discover something new!
