Due to our Homecoming football game being moved up to Thursday this week, our last two dress up days have been switched.🏈💙
Thursday is now Blue Devil Spirit Day - Show your school pride by wearing Blue and White!
Friday is now Team Jersey Day - Wear your favorite team's jersey or team gear!

Our paraprofessionals play a HUGE role in making that happen each and every day. They help keep learning moving forward, support our teachers and students, maintain a safe and positive environment, and reinforce the Annie Belle Way in everything they do!
Thank you to our amazing paraprofessionals for the important work you do and the leadership you provide for our teachers and students. We appreciate you more than you know!
🌟 A special shout-out to Mrs. Matthews for stepping up and sharing her tips and tricks with her peers for supporting students and helping in the classroom. We love seeing our ABC family learn from and support one another!
Thank you for all you do for ABC! 💙👏#4theT

Our coaching visits are focused on Math instruction, providing opportunities for teachers to reflect, try new strategies, and strengthen their instructional practices.
It has been exciting to see both teachers and students respond to feedback and new ideas as we continue to grow our math instruction. We are grateful for the collaboration and support Dr. Adams provides as we work together to strengthen learning for our students! #4theT

It all began with the “Mystery Box” where they had to blindly feel the item in the box (an Apple) and use describing words to tell everyone else about what they felt.
They then used ALL 5 senses to write about apples: what they smell like, look like, sound like (when biting), feel like, and that ultimately led into their Apple Stations where they got to taste different apples.
They got to weigh apples using a classroom scale, experiment to see if it would sink or float, stamp paper using Apple pieces, make a hat, and taste/vote on their favorite type of Apple.
They had SUCHHHHHH a fun day!! #4theT
