Our KACS PK4 and PK5 students attended a presentation by our wonderful KACS parents on Career Day. This live talk was presented, as part of the Community Helpers theme this week, to teach children about the people who live and work in their own community, to see the different vocations and realize that everyone has an important role to contribute and to expose their minds to what they may want to be when they grow up!
Special thanks to the Harrison and Myler Families!

Today KACS Preschoolers (PK3) began their weekly theme of "Forest Animals."
In their dramatic play center, it was converted into a forest and the children made a forest animal mask. They also examined different raw materials found in a typical forest such as leaves, acorns, flowers and rocks (characteristics of living versus non-living things).

KACS younger Preschoolers (PK3) enjoyed the cool weather today during outdoor recess!

KACS Older Toddler children were introduced to their weekly curricula theme entitled "My Senses."
The children explored all five senses - seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching - doing various activities which help us to learn about our surroundings.
One of the activities involved describing the texture shown on a hand: hard (rice), bumpy (sponge), rough (felt), smooth (tape), soft (pom pom).

Today our KACS Early Toddlers children were busy learning about Pets as apart of their weekly theme.
The teacher discussed what pets are and what kinds of pets the children may be familiar with such as a cat or a dog.
They were also supplemented in their language center in signing the word "Please" in ASL and verbalizing "Por Favor" in Spanish.

Today our KACS PK4 students practiced their agricultural skills. They learned the practical aspects of planting (i.e. putting a dry seed into wet soil) and they will be monitoring the hidden potential within each seed as it transforms into a plant throughout the week.

Today in Mrs. Lolly's class, her PK3 students were introduced to something new...and strange! In a world of touchscreens and smart devices, the students got to feel, touch and hear the iconic rotary dial telephone. These two friends were in awe and were trying to figure out how to operate this type of phone from the past.

KACS 100th day of school!
#kiddieacademycanyonsprings
Today our KACS PK5 students presented their planet projects to their classmates. They shared fun facts about the planets and had a short Q&A session with each presenter.
This unit along with science also taught the students to have greater personal confidence and is an introduction to public speaking (one of mankind’s greatest fears!).
#kiddieacademycanyonsprings
Our Younger KACS PK3 students were introduced to their weekly theme entitled "Eating Well." They had a discussion of how different foods come from sources such as plants. Each plant originated from a seed and so the students started their journey of learning, observing and understanding the unseen potential each seed has.
