ACES Kid of the Week

AJ Kneeland
AJ is a fun kid that loves bugs and reptiles!
He is always finding bugs he can catch and observe.
He has really enjoyed earning his Chemistry badge this month!
We'd like to recognize AJ for his hard work this week on being a
helpful and respectful ACES Student of the Week!
Quest Badge Highlight

Melissa is leading our 2nd-5th grade students this month and they are learning all about Chemistry! They have discovered all the parts of an atom, observed chemical reactions through volcano explosions and homemade crystals, and of course,
studied the elements of the periodic table.

They also enjoyed some fun activities, like building marshmallow molecules
and jumping in Oobleck!
Oobleck i s a  non-Newtonian fluid  made of cornstarch and water, named after the substance in a Dr. Seuss book.

This mysterious substance acts like a liquid, and can be poured, but acts like a solid when you apply force by pushing or squeezing it.

4:30-5:30pm. All items will be priced from $1.00-$5.00. Please come shop or send a few dollars with your children to buy some Christmas presents for their family and friends!
