Football Player of the Week

Julie Parks, from Heritage Bank, and Head Football Coach Todd Hood presents Eli Norman with the Player of The Week based on his outstanding performance in the season opening game against Harpeth High School this past Friday night, August 21st. Eli caught one pass for 23 yard gain and a big first down, had 9 tackles on defense and graded 88% on both sides on the ball. The Cougars lost the non-district game 42 to 28. Coach Hood declared “Eli has stepped up his game this year and his play proved that he is a leader on the field.” The Cougars will host their first home game of the 2015 season this Friday, August 28th; against a tough 2A Eagleville football team. Kick off is at 7:00 pm.
Come out and support your COUGARS!!!!

Kindergarten

Kindergarten will be going on our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom scavenger hunt for our alphabet letters this week. This is a fun and interactive way to tour the school and also recognize letters. Once we find our letters, we will work as a class to put the letters in ABC order. The students will visit Mrs. Turnage (front office), Mrs. Parker (nurse), Mrs. Kaki (Cougar Store), Mrs. Stowe (cafeteria), the Coaches in the gym. This scavenger hunt will help students become comfortable with key people they will come in contact with while at school. Our kindergartners will also create their own Chicka Chicka tree in class this week. As we focus on the color words for the next two weeks the students should dress in the corresponding color: Monday-Red, Tuesday-Yellow, Wednesday-Blue, Thursday-Green, Friday-Orange, Monday-Purple, Tuesday-Pink/Gray, Wednesday-Brown, Thursday-Black/White, Friday-Favorite color or school spirit colors. They will be learning to read, write, spell, and sing about the colors. The Kindergarten teachers are looking forward to a wonderful year.

 

Lower School Art News

Welcome back Cougars! I had a wonderful summer and I hope you and your family did too! As we start this new school year, I just wanted to remind you of a few things that are very important to our Art program. Even though we wear aprons in the art room, messes and stains still occur often, even for me! When your child has art as an Enrichment, be thoughtful about what they wear on those day. As always, we are looking for donations! Wipes , GermX, and Kleenex are always needed in the art room. Thank you for always supporting the Art program at CA and remember to ask your children what they are learning and doing in the art room!

 

iPad/iPhone App
