Check out some highlights of academic, art and athletic activities in Grades K-8 below. |

Kindergarteners explored color mixing in both art and the classroom. Mr. Montero’s students completed self-portraits inspired by the work of award-winning photographer, educator, and social activist, Angelica Dass. |
|
In honor of International Hour of Code, first-grade students explored the app, Kodable. Our students developed confidence and a comfort level with the terminology of coding using block coding apps with Mr. Fletcher. |

In preparation for Thanksgiving, second-grade boys enjoyed making cards for All Souls Church Pantry. The cards were added to pre-prepared Thanksgiving Day meals offered by the church at their food pantry. |
|
Third-grade students recently participated in the Invention Convention, a decade-long Allen-Stevenson tradition promoting problem-solving and creative thinking skills. This year's theme was “magnets,” and it was inspiring to see how each student devised a unique and thoughtful way of integrating the theme. |
|
Fourth-grade Spanish students reflected on 'la gratitud' by discussing the benefits of feeling grateful; gratitude helps us feel happier, more connected, and positive. The boys learned the difference in Spanish and in English between wants and needs. -- lo quiero, pero no lo necesito. |
|
Fifth-grade boys began an exciting interdisciplinary curriculum unit on Mesoamerica that focused on three ancient civilizations: the Mayans, the Incas, and the Aztecs. |
|
In sixth grade, students continue to refine their power dribbles, forward and reverse pivots, game concepts, and more in Physical Education class, preparing them for seventh-grade interscholastic teams. At A-S we believe fundamentals and practice make a tremendous difference in our student athletes’ success. |
|
As a part of their scientific study of bacteria, seventh-grade boys brought home live, active yogurt cultures to make a variety of delicious yogurts to share with their friends. Boys enjoyed trying the different products, even going back for seconds and thirds! |
|
Eighth-grade students presented their research-based history projects about Mao Zedong for a day at the MAOseum. Students developed a thesis about whether or not Mao was an effective leader during the Cultural Revolution, conducted research to support their thesis, and presented findings to faculty and staff. |
