Early Learning School

Alliance City Schools will run on a 2 hour delay today (Friday, November 16, 2018) due to power outages. Morning preschool classes are canceled, and evening preschool classes should report at normal time. Alliance Career Center Adult Education classes will run as normal.

The preschoolers at The Alliance Early Learning School always look forward the monthly visit from Janet Metzger. She visits for story time and engages the young students in age appropriate literature and songs. #RepthatA

The students in Shari Johnson and Susan Mann's class learned about the Letter G. Susan Mann shared information about our class pet, Gilly the Guinea Pig! Gilly's cage is in the library lab because she loves to listen to the children read her a story. #RepthatA

This week in Adam De Monte's room, students are learning about going to the market! There is a market set up in the housekeeping area. Students can role play going to the store or working at the cash register. This is one of the student's favorite times of the year. #RepthatA

At AELS, Team B classes all went on an autumn leaf hunt. They found amazing fall colors at the park across the street from the school. Students selected leaves to use later in the classroom. They also had fun throwing them up in the air and watching them FALL. #RepthatA

Myra Zink, the school nurse at NIS, assisted with the vision screening at AELS earlier this week and had some fun in the process! #RepthatA

Sandi Zemrock and Laura Hackney's class had the chance to explore the fall changes at the Nature Center. Students were able to smell herbs and see animals. While walking through the woods, they noticed the different leaves and learned how animals prepare for the winter. #RepthatA

The annual ACS Coat Give-Away is just a week away! Any student in the district in need of a coat can stop by the Alliance Community Center from 4-6 p.m. on October 25. #RepthatA

Kindergarten students in Megan Harper and Cindy Gaines' class are learning about their senses while reading "Senses at the Seashore." As a culminating activity, students created a Mr. Potato Head that illustrates the parts of the body that relate to their senses.

Congratulations to the faculty, staff, students & parents of ACS for earning the Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce's Large Business of the Year award! This was a team effort and wouldn't have been possible without everyone following our core values each and every day! #RepthatA

Tracy Bowser's class read the story called "The Little Red Hen". They acted out the story, followed a recipe and made homemade butter to go with it! Way to go students! #RepthatA

The students in Chris Gibbons and Carrie Le Beau’s class have been learning all about apples, through math, art projects and stories. To celebrate Johnny (Appleseed) Chapman’s, birthday, on September 26, the students made applesauce in class. They said it was delicious! #RepthatA

Rachelle Miller and Tonya Penturf's class has been working on using kind words with friends and working together. They have enjoyed making class murals with drawings and words that represent what friendship means to them. The students are doing great! #RepthatA

The students at AELS got a real treat experiencing the dentist office right at school. The Smiles Mobile Dentist program visited the school and cleaned the teeth of over 90 students! It was a huge help for the parents to have the service offered during school hours. #RepthatA

Amanda Hennon's class has been reading the story The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds this week. They are doing many activities with dots. Students worked together to create dot murals. They are also working on individual art pieces where they cut out and layer dots. #RepthatA

Tracy Bowser's kindergarten class read "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" by Carol McCloud, illustrated by David Messing. They talked about how each person has an invisible bucket they carry around. During the day, they fill their buckets by saying or doing something nice to others and when they do the same. To understand this, they carry around a cup filled with 20 chips. Students then say nice things to other and place a chip in his her cup. Students get excited to give and receive a chip from a friend.
