Students at AELS had the opportunity to explore the galaxy using the inflatable Star Lab. Tracy Bowser took each class on a journey through space to look at stars, constellations and the moon! It was awesome having our very own planetarium right here in Alliance! #RepthatA


Crystal Gibbons’ class finished a learning unit on Winter Wonderland, where they learned about all things winter! They read the book "The Snowy Day" and discussed the things that Peter did in the snow. Each student received their very own copy of the book to take home! #RepthatA



Lori Gasparik's class at AELS learned about snow and snowflakes during the Winter Wonderland Unit. They examined a variety of snowflakes and their unique shapes. They created their own snowflakes and learned that no two snowflakes are identical... just like children! #RepthatA
