Special Activities
100 DAYS OF SCHOOL
“Happy 100 Days of School!” We had been counting down since the beginning of the school year and were excited to celebrate with our younger students dressed up as Centenarians for the day, while completing artwork and activities in 100’s!
DR. SEUSS DAY
The more that you READ, the more things you will KNOW.
The more that you LEARN, the more places you’ll GO!” – Dr. Seuss
We celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday in preschool and junior school dressed up as characters from his books!
Dr. Seuss Day, also known as National Read Across America Day, celebrates the joy of learning and the importance of early literacy. At ACA, we have an extensive literacy program that encourages children even as early as creche to interact with books. We follow through with fun games, innovative teaching methods and focused one-on-one learning in literacy classes through pre- and junior school, and continue to monitor and encourage the growth of our older students through advanced reading/literature, writing, research, and oral presentations.
ST. PATRICK’S DAY
“Happy St. Patrick’s Day!” Our KG class celebrated dressed in green.
