Fractions, Feathers, and Fur

The 3rd and 4th graders have started expanding their knowledge of fractions. Folding strips of paper is a great way to explore and visualize the size of different unit fractions and the whole. They have also been very busy working on their projects for the Animal and Bird Symposium that they will share with the community later in April (more information to follow soon).

Library Learning Commons News

March has been a busy month in the library/learning commons. We have designated this month as Read Across America/Antrim. There have been a number of guest readers popping their heads in and sharing their favorite stories. Taking advantage of our GBS readers has been inspiring to our AES teachers, our GBS students, our GBS faculty and our students here at AES. It's always nice to see where they can go!


We would be remiss if we failed to mention St. Patrick's Day at AES. Our K-1-2 students all made leprechauns with the only direction being "Make a leprechaun!" The results were fantastic. There is so much creativity with our young students..


Our 3rd and 4th grade students are starting a unit on Digital Citizenship and the importance of being safe while using proper etiquette on their computers. This unit is being balanced by learning coding. Coding is using "computer talk". There's nothing more literal than a computer! Curious...If a robot speaks into a fan, does it sound like a human?

To K-3 Families at AES

It is time to sign up for the Elementary Summer Learning Program. Below is a description of the two options for your child.
Explore and Expand Summer Learning Program is for rising 1st through 4th graders! This four-week long program is designed to support student learning by bolstering school-year skills and helping to fight summer learning loss. Students will receive 1-1.5 hours of academic support from ConVal Certified Teachers and Tutors. An additional hour of the program is reserved for enrichment exploration, including drumming and cartooning.

The Title 1 Program is for rising 1st through 5th graders! This four-week long program is designed to support student learning in reading. Students will receive up to 3 hours of academic support daily from ConVal Certified Teachers. Time for snacks and breaks will be included in the 3 hours. A portion of the program will be dedicated to partnering with our local community to promote student learning. Francestown families note that Title 1 Programming is only available for students who have received Title 1 services during the school year.

Both programs are free of charge, and registration is open to all. As we anticipate great demand, enrollment will be prioritized based on need, working in partnership with schools to ensure that we offer summer learning opportunities for as many students as possible.

Please complete the survey and submit by April 8th.
