Easter Bunny Visits ACS

News
Students in grade Pk – 4 were treated to an Easter egg hunt by the Class of 2022. The eighth grade students filled over 500 hundred eggs  for the lower grade students. Much to the surprise of the children, they got to meet with the Easter bunny! Everyone had a fun time and returned to their classes to open their eggs to see what the bunny gave them. The Class of 2022 gives a special shout out to Mrs. Czaban for arranging to have the Easter bunny make a special trip to ACS.

Artsy Thursday with Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten:

News
Our young students made rain boots in a puddle! We practiced our coloring, cutting, and pasting skills; a perfect project for a rainy day. We also went to our Middle schools wax museum to learn about many scientists. A fun day all around.
AND… Today was our last celebration for the Week of the Young Child. We took all of our pictures from our fun activities and pictures families sent in from home and made creative collages together!
***The Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. This is a time to recognize that children’s opportunities are our responsibility, and to recommit ourselves to ensuring that every child experiences the type of learning environment that will promote their early learning. We know the importance of children’s earliest years in shaping their relationship with God, learning and development.***
THANK YOU TO MS. CUFF, MISS KELLY AND MISS DRAYTON!!!

Living Wax Museum

News

After completing research and writing a paper on a scientist that has contributed to change in the world, the students in middle school decided to share their findings with the lower grades. They constructed posters with important facts about the lives of the scientist and then dressed as the scientist. The younger grades visited the museum and were impressed by what they saw. Some of them expressed that they can’t wait until it is their turn to do the same project. The middle school students did a great job holding a pose and their posters were very informative to the other students.

“Candyland – Part 2”

News
Second Grade ran quite the scrumptious Candy Store today.  As a conclusion to their math unit on money, second grade honed their money counting skills while learning how to create a marketing & advertising campaign and finally, opening their store to grades K-8 for one day only.  Our entrepreneurs made a store sign, created their own flyers and went class to class, promoting their store. In addition, each second grader was tasked with selling a single type of candy for a quarter, dime or nickel.  Happy chatter and the clink of coins could be heard as our ACS students checked out the variety of candies for sale.  It was a sweet and successful day!

Spring Has Sprung!

News

Kindergarten has been bitten with the springtime bug. They could be found buzzing happily making handprint butterflies. Each student traced their own hand and then cut them out, followed by decoration of their “butterflies”. Next, they attached a straw and colored cotton for the body. They added eyes and were then ready to fly into spring.
The next day keeping with their spring feel, students made handprint sunflowers. They once again traced their hands, but this time it was eight prints that they needed. Next they glued a stem and leaves to a blue piece of construction paper. They next put their handprints in a circle to make the flower. Finally, they added a brown construction paper circle to represent the center of the flower. What a great way to welcome Spring!
