Wow! What an amazing day of arts and culture we had at ACES yesterday. Bright Star Theatre performed for all grade levels. They performed a bilingual rendition of Little Red Riding Hood for our Kindergarten, First and Second grade students. Then they performed a show called: Tremendous Tales and Real-Life Legends From the Spanish Speaking World for our Third and Fourth grade students. The students loved watching and participating in the performance. Staff celebrated Hispanic Heritage month by sharing cultural dishes and decorations in the staff lounge. #ramfam #bcs #wearebcs
What a fun day at Avery's Creek! Classes celebrated earning their whole class dot- on -the- spot with a fun dance party outside! We are so proud of our students for modeling RAMS expectations. Even the staff got in on the fun. After the students left staff had a trunk-or-treat party in the media center. #ACES #ramfam #BCS

Stuffed animal day was a hit in 2nd grade! The stuffed animals even got in on the learning. Students earned this day by showing RAMS expectations throughout our building. Students are recognized for these behaviors in specials, in the hallway, and in the cafeteria. What a great day!
Mrs. Figueras's Kindergarten Dual Language class had there Hispanic Heritage celebration. The students had a wonderful time learning about Cuba and Puerto Rico, the countries their teachers are from. Students learned about the history, authentic dishes, clothes, music and instruments from these countries. The students were able to identify how Cuba and Puerto Rico are so similar that even their flags look alike. The class sampled foods, played with musical instruments and the students learned how to salsa dance. We believe learning about other cultures, helps the students to develop a better understanding of the people around them.
ACES students love to engage in hands on learning! Students in Ms. Murray's class test out their parachutes during their first STEM challenge as third graders. #BCSfamily #ACES
Ms. Hudson's kindergarten class learned the steps for respectful listening skills with Ms. Davis during guidance last week. They learned how Howard. B.

ACES first grade kicked off their first module of Wit and Wisdom with a book tasting! This module is all about how books change lives around the world. Students have been using story stones and story maps to retell the stories and summarize them in writing. They even made their own mobile libraries to bring the learning to life! #WeAreBCS
ACES teachers work hard to make learning fun :) Mrs. Danielian's 3rd grade class is reviewing their vocab words by playing Headbandz! #BCSfamily #ramfam
