The beauty and blessings of fall have been popping up everywhere on the ACS campus this month. Students went on walks around the school campus to collect colorful fall leaves. Other students picked and decorated pumpkins and visited the school library to hear fall-themed stories as part of this Friday’s Harvest Festival. Students worked on various art projects and wrote poems that celebrated the beauty of the fall season that God created.

Miss Joelle’s PreK2 class went on a scavenger hunt on the school campus to find acorns, colorful leaves, pine cones, and much more. The letter they learned this week, of course, was “F” for fall. Students in Mrs. Kelley’s PreK4 class used their artistic talents to create a painting of an autumn tree, using brushes and cotton swabs. Miss Karan’s PreK3 class went on a leaf walk, collecting leaves and bringing them back to their classroom where they counted the leaves, identified their colors, compared their different shapes, and practiced raking them up.
Students in the after-school Fall Art Workshop carved into clay to create clay leaves. In Mrs. Ash’s 5th grade class, students wrote acrostic poems based on the word “Autumn” that are on display in a first floor hallway bulletin board. The students used their fives senses to select adjectives starting with each of the letters in the word autumn to describe different aspects of this special season. As part of the Harvest Festival, students did two special fall-themed art projects — creating colorful fall leaves using scratch art paper and decorating pictures of ears of corn with popcorn. So thankful for the many ways our students are learning about amazing autumn.
