As part of our Read Across America Week celebration, students and staff at Acushnet Elementary School had fun with Sock Day inspired by Fox in Socks! Wildcats showed off their creativity by wearing mismatched socks, adding a playful twist to the day while celebrating a beloved Dr. Seuss story.

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. 🧠✨

Second-grade students in Mrs. Stotts’ class had a blast during physical education with parachute games! Students practiced teamwork, communication, and following directions as they built a parachute “tent” and sat inside. These fun activities also supported coordination, upper-body strength, and spatial awareness—all while learning in a positive, active environment!
