Spring Showcase!
Two groups of children in the Half Day Nursery Class invited their family members to an exhibit of some of their learning from the second half of the school year. The documented work included art pieces, project work, the value of field trips, the importance of writing as a means of communication, other examples of literacy as well as the marking of time. The students shared their collaborative work as they toured the exhibit with their special guests. Thank you to all who attended and we hope you enjoyed viewing the learning.

Nature Always Provides A Learning Experience!

The day started off extremely rainy, but it did not stop the fun or learning! The children tested small plastic boats in the deepest of puddles to determine whether they would sink or float.

Let It Grow!
This week, our young gardeners returned to the garden beds they helped carve out in the West Yard—but this time, they came equipped with shovels and wheelbarrows, ready for the next exciting step: collecting and spreading nutrient-rich soil known as humus
They carefully dumped the humus they collected and used their tools—and their hands!—to spread it evenly across the beds, creating a healthy top layer for future planting.

Publishing Party!
It was an exciting day in the Primary Class! It was their Publishing Party for their book The Primary Class Adventures (a story inspired by their weekly field trips). They began the day by reading their book aloud to the whole school during the Birthday Assembly. Each child was given a turn to read the page they wrote. After lunch, they had a celebration. The room was decorated with bus themed decorations to celebrate the occasion. The children decorated masks, and enjoyed yummy ice pops. The day was completed by handing out certificates to the proud Published Authors. What a great way to show how proud we are and to celebrate the class’s hard work.

Yes, We Do Have Bananas!
There’s something so satisfying about watching simple ingredients transform into a warm, golden loaf, especially when you’ve made it with your own 2 hands!
Baking with children offers numerous benefits, fostering their development in areas like creativity, math and science skills, problem-solving, and language skills. It also provides a fun and engaging way to bond as a group, instill confidence, and teach important life skills. Plus, the results are really delicious!

Mapping a New Adventure

The school field trip experience allows the children to have a shared adventure that they can reference at a later time as they continue their work on a project, which in this case, a group of children from the Half Day Nursery class are studying maps. The challenge was finding a place where they could go so the children could use a map to guide them. Allaire Village in Wall Township fit the bill perfectly. It is a small village that has a variety of different buildings.

Being on the bus provided them with an opportunity to use a different type of map: a GPS. Each set of partners used Goggle Maps to follow the path of the bus. They were reading symbols for traffic lights and stop signs, and using directional terminology like left and right.

Once at the village, the children unraveled their maps and referenced them, asking for help along the way. The map led them to those buildings that were on the hunt.

Back at school the group is creating their own map of their schoolyard!

Building An Aquarium
A group of children in the Half Day Nursery class and their teachers looked at documentation taken from their trip to Jenkinson's, and applied new knowledge to build their own aquarium in their outdoor classroom.
After hanging papier mache fish they created from the ceiling of the aquarium, the children then worked to put together a touch tank which includes various items from the sea.
The group also searched the West Yard for branches that reminded them of the shape of sea coral. Learning that the coral comes in a variety of colors, they chose which was their favorite to apply.
The work continues!

Alumni Day!
Here’s to a long time tradition at ACP! The first Saturday of May is always a day for former students to return to school to visit teachers, connect with old friends, refresh memories as they look through chronicled classroom scrapbooks, enjoy a familiar snack, and engage with materials. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces return and spend the morning with us! Thanks for coming and please continue to keep in touch!

We hope to see you all tomorrow!
