We’ve been hopping into learning! 🐸🌿
Our students have been exploring pond life. We learned about frog habitats.
Of course, we couldn’t study frogs without practicing our own frog jumps! 🐸💚
Hands-on learning + a little hopping = a great day at ACES!
📚✨ **Read Across America Week** ✨📚

Oh, the books we will read! Oh, the fun we will share!
With Seuss-y dress-up days and wild hair everywhere! 🎩
Bring cereal boxes, stack them up tall,
For the Andrew County Ministries Food Pantry — helping one and all! 🥣
Read, dress up, and give back too —
It’s a Seuss-tastic week at ACES for me and for you! 🎉

ACES Students learned all about the sport of curling — from the strategy behind the stones to the teamwork it takes to sweep your way to victory.
Who knew sliding and sweeping could teach so much about focus, communication, and fun?
Dinner is served (and it comes with a side of school spirit!) 🐾
Why cook when you can Culver’s? Join the ACES PTO tonight from 5:00–8:00 PM. It’s a "cool" way to give back—literally. Grab a Concrete Mixer and support ACES!

1st graders dove into nonfiction text features & put their research skills to work!

MWSU student nurses taught us about dental hygiene, we explored a new art material (and weren’t afraid to get a little messy!), dug into dinosaur discoveries, & learned through hands-on, sensory play.
Messy hands, curious minds, & BIG learning happening in PreK!
Nothing better than a first grade trip to the zoo on a Friday afternoon! 🐾Learning came to life right before our eyes. They explored a variety of animals, discovered different habitats, learned what animals eat, and shared so many fun facts along the way.
This week we’ve been on a QUest for "qu” words — like quick, quiet, queen, and quack! We discovered that q is always followed by u & they make a special team sound together. Students used “quills” while brainstorming as many qu words as they could.
Our PreK paleontologists have been hard at work and "dino-mite" learning! With tiny tools and BIG imaginations, students excavated dinosaur fossils, discovered new vocabulary, and explored what it means to observe, question, and investigate—just like real scientists.
Love this week’s creativity at ACES!
We’re bringing learning to life in the best ways — using pasta to build quotation marks as we practice punctuating dialogue ✍️🍝 and becoming “Smart Riders” by helping students understand the importance of focused, distraction-free driving.

Middle School Students traded cupcakes for courage, valentines for velocity, and spent the day falling in love with fresh air, friendship, and a little adventure. Nothing says “Happy Valentine’s Day” like sharing laughs on the lift and making memories on the mountain! 💕❄️
Kindergarten made Valentine’s Day special with our annual Q & U Wedding!
Students created alphabet letter vests & helped "marry” Q & U — because they stick together like glue!
A little love, a lot of learning, & the sweetest way to celebrate literacy at ACES!

🏒✨ Do you believe in miracles? ✨🏒
Our students have been learning the fundamentals of hockey in P.E., and we couldn’t help but connect it to the legendary story behind the movie Miracle!
Who knew stickhandling drills and passing practice could come with a side of history and inspiration?
Our students have been hard at work learning in hands-on, creative ways!
🛠️ 6th Grade Woodworking students have been busy building bluebird houses using only hand tools — talk about skill and patience! A big thank you to Home Depot for their generous donations that helped make this project possible.
🦒 Meanwhile, 3rd Grade is exploring animal adaptations in the most creative way — by designing and building their own giraffe necks! Through imagination and provided supplies, they’re discovering how adaptations help animals survive and thrive.
From woodworking to wildlife, learning at ACES is active, engaging, and full of creativity! 💙
Get ready to **ROCK the house**, ACES families! Our students have been working hard on their hockey skills in PE class, and now it’s time to see how the pros (and the ultimate underdogs) did it.
