Monday: Catholic Schools Week 2022

February 2, 2022News

Catholic Schools Week was off to a great start with some ACS trivia shared by Mrs. Lawrence. Did you know that ACS opened in 1963? Did you also know that our dear Sister Yosaphata was one of the first teachers in the school? She actually opened the school and then was here for 55 years! India Lillie and Gabbie D of Grade 8 shared their ideas of what ACS meant to them. Then two 8th graders shared what they love about their school – thank you Gabby and India-Lillie for your beautiful words!

During the day the middle school was treated to a midmorning snack of bagels and muffins, with milk or juice, and hot chocolate. This gave them the energy they needed to participate in the first round of their annual Jeopardy game. But that’s not all…..Grade 5 made pretzel treats and grade 4 had muffins to go along with their Magazine Monday.

Students in Pre k, K and 1 had a McDonald’s lunch provided by our FSA.

Students also started our “CSW Post it!. on their classroom door that contained their reason about why they love their teacher.

All in all, it has been a busy start to a great week. Check back in tomorrow to find out about the next bit of excitement taking place tomorrow at ACS.

Young engineers in the making!

January 25, 2022News

2nd grade studied the engineering process during science class, and thanks to our brand-new STEM Lab, they were able to spread out to design and build “lunchboxes” that would keep water bottles cold. Our 2nd Graders had as much fun creating their lunchboxes, as they did checking the temperatures throughout the day, and overnight!

Value in Art

January 25, 2022News

This past week the first and second graders learned about value in art. Not how much money a piece of art is worth, but how you can vary the darkness or lightness of your colors for a more interesting picture. They also talked about how using shading and shadows can make their favorite cartoons look more realistic. To practice value, they created a magical forest of trees and arranged the different parts of the trees in order from the lowest value (darkest) to the highest value (lightest). The students had fun experimenting with color, cutting and gluing their trees together.

100 Books in (Less Than) 100 Days

January 25, 2022News

Congratulations to our Second Graders, who completed their Reading Challenge to read 100 books in 100 days in 58 days! All the books were read during “brain” breaks in our school day, and in order for the book to “count”, students had to fill out a ticket listing the title, author, their full name and date, written with proper spelling and punctuation. Mrs. Kukuruza even joined in the challenge, filling out a ticket each time she read a book to the class! The 2nd grader who read the most books was Gia V. !! Way to go!

New Anywhere Carts

ACS finally received their 12 new Anywhere Carts and everyone was super excited! We now have a safer (and less bulky) place to store our chromebooks and chargers. We always plan the use of our funding with students and teacher’s needs in mind. We feel so incredibly blessed.
