Mrs. Hartwigs preschoolers enjoyed some hands on learning activities during our outer space and dinosaur thematic units.

6:00 pm Monday, 4-22-24, should be a day that gets marked on calendars... it will be the final Blue Jay & Fox Family Fun Night for this school year @AES! Back by popular demand, students will be encouraged to present jokes and puns for fluency practice in a comedic fashion. Tips for interactive reading with children over summer will also be shared. All students who attend will receive a few fun "things" to keep the laughter going all summer...

Surgery... In first grade?! Yes! The students at AES became doctors and did word surgery on their patients to practice contractions. Students were given word "patients" to make words such as 'do not' into the word 'don't.' These future doctors cut the patients, stitched, bandaged, and placed the patients in the recovery room. Great job!
