The children at Little Scholars Academy celebrated Johnny Appleseed's 239th birthday on September 26th. They made mini apple pies, painted with different color apples, played an alphabet apple tree game, made their own construction paper Johnny Appleseeds. Plus, got to meet the REAL Johnny Appleseed in person. Also, a special "Thank You" to Deer Run for delivering a birthday surprise to Johnny!!


The students at Little Scholars Academy are very fortunate that they can simply walk on the sidewalk and visit a fabulous doctor. Since they are studying "My neighborhood and community helpers",  these tiny scholars were lucky enough to have Lake Oconee Urgent Care host their first field trip. Before they arrived they played the iPad app Doc Mc Stuffins, made a doctors bag, an edible band-aid snack and had played Doctor Dress up while learning the name of the bones in their bodies. When they arrived, Mrs. Martha along with the rest of the staff greeted the children and toured them through the different rooms at their beautiful  facility. One of the highlights was when they met Dr. Eddie Richardson. The children asked him many questions to complete their KWL charts (what they know, want to know and what they learned) Luke Lollis asked " Why do doctors wear white coats?" another child asked "Why do we have to stick put our tongues and say Ahhh?? Dr. Eddie answered all of their questions with a smile and in a sweet age appropriate manner. The field trip ended with a beautiful table Lake Oconee Urgent Care decide to surprise the children with that had snacks, juice, stickers, rings, and the best goodies bags ever complete with crayons, bubbles, coloring books and stuffed animals." Hutton 3 year old student cheered "This was the best day of my life!"
