Alliance Early Learning School

\r\n

The students in Adam De Monte’s preschool class have been learning about music. The students have been learning about different kinds of instruments and different methods of making music. The students were able to participate in a rock band and take turns using the different instruments.

\r\n

AELS kindergarteners completed a mini-unit focusing on kindness and acts of kindness. Each classroom participated in various activities centered around showing kindness to all. Some classrooms created Valentine’s Day cards for patients in nursing homes, while others practiced friendship by communicating with pen pals in Germany. They created acrostic poems using the word ‘kindness’ to brainstorm words or ideas associated with being kind and being a good friend. Students listened to stories and charted actions that are kind versus actions that could be considered unkind. To culminate the unit, all 200 students came together to form a picture spelling out the word ‘kind’ with their bodies. The picture will be displayed at AELS as a reminder of how we can practice kindness every day!

Alliance Elementary Schools

\r\n

Second grade students have been working on equal groups and arrays in math class to develop the foundations for multiplication. Students participated in math centers with different puzzles and hands on activities. They made their own arrays and repeated addition sentences using Smarties. Second Grade students also recently studied fossils in Science. Students discussed different types of fossils that Paleontologists study and how important they are to learn about the past. They even had the chance to “Dig” like real Scientists and look up what they found to identify them.

\r\n

Second Grade Students created Valentine Boxes for Valentine's Day. The boxes reflected their individual interests and talents. Students then wrote a "How to" paragraph about how they made their Valentine Box.
