🌱🌞 Growing and Learning in Preschool! 🌞🌱
Our preschoolers in Ms. Carvalho’s class have been learning all about what plants need to grow and stay alive—and they put their knowledge into action!
Students participated in a fun, hands-on activity where they planted grass seeds in soil, watered them, and placed them by a sunny window to help them grow. The excitement was contagious as students explored what it takes to care for living things!
The best part? Once the grass grows, students will get to give it a “haircut”! ✂️🌿
We love seeing our youngest learners engage, explore, and have so much fun while learning!

🚒🔥 Fire & Life Safety Learning at AES! 🔥🚒
Our third grade students at Acushnet Elementary School recently participated in the Student Awareness of Fire Education (S.A.F.E.) Program! This valuable program allows students to learn about fire and life safety from trained Firefighter-Educators right in the classroom.
Students explored important topics such as the 9-1-1 system, “Stop, Drop, and Roll,” and household safety—including cooking, electricity, cleaning products, and power equipment. They also completed an assignment to create a Home Fire Drill, encouraging important safety conversations with their families.
To top it all off, students got a first-hand look at the equipment and tools used by firefighters and even had the opportunity to tour a fire truck! 🚒
Thank you to our local fire department for helping keep our students informed, prepared, and safe!

💐❤️ Mother’s Day Creations at AES! ❤️💐

Students at Acushnet Elementary School have been hard at work creating special gifts for Mother’s Day!

In Mr. Powers’s 4th-grade class, students wrote thoughtful and creative acrostic poems to celebrate the amazing mothers and caregivers in their lives. Meanwhile, students in Ms. Reis’s class designed beautiful, handmade bookmarks as heartfelt gifts for Mother’s Day.

These meaningful projects gave students the opportunity to reflect on the important people who support and care for them every day. We know these gifts will be treasured! 💖

Students in Ms. Coelho and Ms. Rebello’s class completed a cross-curricular unit in which they made their own zoos. Kids had a budget to buy their animals, measured to build enclosures, mapped it all out, and became an expert on one of their animals. Then, students from each class got to teach each other about their animals.

At the beginning of March, AES students attended a magical performance by the New Bedford Ballet. This year's ballet was "Courage, Perseverance, and Trust: The Majiro Story." Our students were amazed by the beautiful dancing, the colorful costumes, and the way the story was told through movement and music. It was a fantastic opportunity for our entire school community to experience the performing arts and see how stories can come to life on stage. Moments like these help inspire creativity, curiosity, and a love for the arts!

❄️🐻 Preschool Science in Ms. Carvalho’s Class! 🐻❄️

In preschool, Ms. Carvalho’s students have been learning all about hibernation. As part of their learning, they conducted a fun science experiment to explore how a bear’s paw might feel in the snow compared to our human hands.

After testing and discussing their observations, the class came to a consensus — the bear can’t feel the snow the same way we can! What a great example of curiosity, hands-on learning, and scientific thinking in action. 🧠✨
