Kindergartners Explore their Inner Hero
Is there a better way to spend the afternoon than helping kindergartners create alter-egos?
Team Awesome in Action doesn’t think so!
Nick, Lead Cool Guy of Awesome in Action, took job coach, Audrey, and Awesome Volunteers; Alex, Thalia, and Olivia on a great adventure to T.R. Paul Academy of Arts and Knowledge. There, we visited his old stomping grounds and some of his favorite teachers in their new location!
Great and knowledgeable kindergarten teacher, Amy Jenes, invited the team to her classroom to share a presentation with all of the TPAAK kinders.
The students learned about how Nick found his inner strengths, and then used that knowledge to find their own “super powers” to create a new team of Kinder super heroes!
Many super heroes were created that day, including Rainbow Girl, Basketball Boy, and Racer X!
The kids even helped Nick create and try on a mask… Look at those super helpers!
Nick had a great time with his friend, Brodie, who was part of the kindergarten class!
We hope we helped all these wonderful kids understand how great they truly are, and to use their strengths proudly as they continue to grow and learn!
Until next time, fellow super heroes….remember what Michelangelo says:
“Wise man say forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza.”
It’s NOT a Box! An evening with Thompson Schools and the Early Childhood Programs
J
udy Tessier and her teaching gurus at Monroe Early Childhood Center passed the word along that ALL the early childhood centers in the Thompson School District were going to have a literacy night at the Conrad Ball Middle School cafeteria. She asked if Nick and the AiA team would like to experience it.
The theme would center around Antoinette Portis’ lovely book, Not a Box. The story involves a very creative young rabbit and the use of a cardboard box to make the most amazing experiences; driving cars, flying in space rockets, dousing fires, experimenting with robotics, and climbing Mt Everest! Most importantly, no naysayer could sway the young rabbit’s belief in what he/she was doing.
Nick read the story for the first time and decided he and the team should attend the event in ….. you guessed it, a BOX!
Nick donned blue bunny ears and the antics were on, but not before Judy met us at the Monroe Early Childhood Center Pirate Ship and offered Nick an eye patch and a pirate hat crafted by the scallywag deck hands.
Nick shared his spoils with all the kids!
There were boxes and games all over the cafeteria! What a fabulous literacy event for the children of Loveland. For more information on Thompson’s Early Childhood Education, click here.

roll your children in an experience of a young lifetime, bunny ears, boxes and all!
