All our ACS teachers are busy planning, teaching and working with students remotely.  Using google hangouts each class meets with their teacher during designated times and can ask questions throughout the day.  Today, to add a little fun on April Fools Day, Miss Martinez played a teddy bear prank on the fourth grade!  The kids were so excited to see a stuffed bear instead of their teacher teaching the lesson. All had a good laugh!  We are so blessed to have such creative and dedicated teachers at our school. We continue to pray that the pandemic comes to an end yet, also remembering to make time to share a little laugh with our students and ease our their stress.

ACS’s first virtual faculty meeting; it has been a challenging week but with the grace of God and many prayers we made it.  This week grades 6, 7, and 8 have held scheduled classes and have used Google Hangouts to teach and communicate with every student.  Google Classroom has been used to send and submit assignments and we are so pleased with all of our students’ efforts.  Grades 3 and 4 have ran test classes and also answered many student and parent questions. Monday our grades 1 to 8 will all be actively teaching and parents will have each classes schedule . We continue to pray for all who have felt the effects of the coronavirus.

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!

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.
