First and second grade have been learning about Space and the many things we can see with in the sky. We learned about day and night the sun the stars and the moon. Today we ended the week making models of the phases of the moon using Oreo cookies and the cream. It was educational, fun and delicious!

Read Across America
The First through fourth Grade students have been celebrating Read Across America all week with different activities during our D.E.A.R. time. Today when we “Dropped Everything to Read” we used our blankets and sat in a spot anywhere in the room to read for 15 minutes. The best part was using our flashlights to read!
It was followed by our weekly Library Special when everyone was excited to select a book from the ACS Sister Yosephata Library.

Science standards
In 6th grade we are working on a 2 day fun, eye opening and mathematically accurate activity to teach students about scale sizes and orbits of the planets around the sun while adhering to our Science standards. The students where shocked to see just how different in size the planets are. We are excited to continue our lab tomorrow to see the distance each planet is from each other.

This Friday, the police officers, firefighters and EMS visited Assumption school in Perth Amboy, NJ as part of the school’s activities for national Catholic Schools Week. These heroic men and women live each day fulfilling the theme of this year’s theme for Catholic Schools Week that is Learn, Serve, Lead and Succeed. The good work they do is not often mentioned in the papers or on the evening news, but they are the unsung heroes of our communities. Thank you for your service and we ask God’s blessing and protection on each of you.

ACS Day 2: Catholic Schools Week 2020!
Pre-K was the entertainment today!! They went to each classroom and performed their famous Tooty Ta Ta song and dance! What a show!
Kindergarten had round 1 of their Spelling Bee Competition and finished their cards for our Police officers (one of our special guests for Friday!)
Grades 1 to 3: Catholic School’s coloring activity and discussing how we learn, serve, lead and succeed in our school.
Fourth and Fifth grade – Tuesday Project Day!! AND what a project day it was! They made “rubber” balls made out of glue mixed with corn starch which is then dropped into water and borax. The last step is rolling the ball to get out the air and water bubbles. There’s a lot of rolling involved. In the end, the balls do bounce and as a fringe benefit, all the students now know how to roll a meat ball!
Middle school played their first round of Jeopardy and did some cooking …. ohhh and don’t miss grade 8 doing the Tooty Ta Ta with Pre-K!!
