Today students from the Middle School were pampered by High School Cosmetology students. Some received facials and manicures, others got haircuts. Several groups of middle school students have been able to visit the salon throughout the year. #Amspresents #Acspresents
Fourth-graders in Danielle Kinsey’s social studies classes were highly engaged during a review game. Miss Kinsey used SMART Lab software to create a game using affiliation and novelty and variety. The students loved it! After the computer randomly assigned teams, students worked on answering questions to free their monster from its shell. What an excellent way to practice for a test!

It is difficult to stay on top of the latest technology and how your student is using it. Especially with apps on their devices. Here is a guide for parents and teachers on the latest apps and what students use them for: https://smartsocial.com/app-guide-parents-teachers/
The High School Spring Art Show is in the lobby of the high school and can be viewed by the public prior to any of the Willy Wonka Musical Performances today, Saturday or Sunday! Here are a few of the pieces:
The Early Childhood Education Alliance does much to help young children in the Alliance area be prepared for kindergarten. Here is an opportunity to have some fun, buy some student art, and support ECEA in their efforts for our students. https://www.alliancecityschools.org/article/46826
Shari Johnson and Susan Mann's preschool class are published authors!!! The students wrote a book called "Where Are You Going" and the idea on how the book came about was rather interesting. Shari Johnson during one of her morning routine lessons rolled a ball around on the floor to each student and asked them where they were going. Each student would respond differently. One of the answers the students said was that there were going to the store. From there, Shari Johnson asked the students what they were going to the store to get and that is where the fun began. The students went to the store to buy items for a party. Each student named their items from cupcakes, party hats and punch and they also illustrated their own pictures as well. Parents from the class came to hear the story as each student stood proud and stated loud their part of the book. Congratulations to the preschool class on becoming published authors and a huge thank you goes out to Shari Johnson and Susan Mann for all of their hard work and dedication on this project!
