Academy Bounce Night

Last week we had our annual bounce night at Monkey Joe's. Every year we get to bounce the night away with all of our Academy families. We always have pizza, cake and tons of fun! Our school age friends had a blast bouncing and playing tag all through Monkey Joe's. 

Fall if for your family!

Pet Graphs

This week at The Academy of Heritage Commons we have been talking all about Pets. Even our TASK kiddos had some fun with pet graphs. We had one helper going around and asking about the student's pets. We had another helper cutting out the different animal pictures. We also had two helpers each coloring a graph poster and another gluing everything on the page.  

Adding up all of the pets

Good work!

Adding up the counts

One of the final products!
 

Our TASK friends decided to make two separate graphs. One is to display in their classroom and the other was for a friend who wanted to take one home!

The Famous Balloon man

The Spring Hill area has a very famous balloon man. He can be found at almost all of the community events as well as restaurants on kids nights. He has visited our school a couple times before, but never like he did for our TASK kiddos this summer. The balloon man from Parker's original came and taught our TASK friends how to make balloon art as well as made each of them one special balloon of their choosing! His balloon creations are amazing.

Balloon Glasses were one of the steps
to one of their final products.

Class time!

Paying attention to what Mr. Parker was saying.

So happy with their balloons!

She made a beautiful flower!

She made a dog. 

The TASK kids had a blast creating their own balloons and were so proud of their final creations. They also loved the special balloons they got to pick out. One parent told us that her son kept his balloon until it had almost no air left in it! Click here for a link to Mr. Parker's facebook page to see where he will be next!

Bowling Fun

Last Thursday our TASK friends had a blast at the bowling alley! They had a big competition going between the lanes on who was winning with the most points. Some of the girls also formed a little cheer squad to cheer their friends on. We bowled for a couple of hours, but they would have stayed even longer if we didn't have to get back for lunch!

Way to bowl friends!!

Say Cheese!

I Spy Franklin

Our TASK friends loved our field trip to downtown Franklin. Their teacher Ms. Jane helped us learn all about the history of downtown Franklin. We got I Spy books and followed the stories and answered the questions in the book while learning about and exploring the city.

Splash Pad Fun

We have been having so much fun during all over our TASK field trips this summer! One of our favorites so far was to our brand new park and splash pad down here in Spring Hill. 

First we went to the park...

Second we went to eat our picnic lunch...

Third we finally made it to the splash pad to cool off!!

We had such a great time playing at the park and splashing in the water! Our big kids on campus love their field trips. If you want to visit this park yourself, click here to learn more about it.
