Ashley Armstrong from SURF (Sanford Underground Research Facility) out of Lead, SD came back again this year to talk to the ACE students about everything science!! She is a very engaging presenter who gets the kids excited about learning new things!
The kindergarten and first graders presentation was over “How hot is it?” They got to do experiments with testing the temperature of three different glasses of water, compare temps, and test out several different methods of taking temperatures.
The second and third graders learned about the importance of perseverance, identified what to do when things get hard and discuss how to learn from mistakes as the story of the search for dark matter is shared! They got to try to build the tallest tower and not give up when things got hard!
The fourth and fifth graders learned about particle accelerators and how they work and why they are indispensable when studying neutrinos.
Thank you, Ashley, for coming to our school again! We learn so much from you and it’s so interesting to hear about all of the ongoing SURF projects!! We love when you visit!
Fun fact: Miss Leloux used to coach Ashley in basketball when she was in high school! 😁

We started the first whole school musical practice today for “The Beauty and the Beast”! All the students sang through three songs and we got a sneak peek at some of the solos from the main characters! The 4th and 5th graders have already begun their practices on Wednesday afternoons! So much time and effort goes into this performance! Thank you to all of our students for working hard and to all of the staff and parents who make this happen!
Sweet Tooth School Store days are a real hit! Sweet success! Thanks for the support!
Here are your Jane Addams Soaring Eagles for the week of January 17-30! Nice work being responsible, safe, and respectful!
Virtual Reality is awesome!! Miss Leloux’s third graders have virtual reality headsets in their classroom sponsored through a grant from the Sioux Falls Public Schools Education Foundation grant two years ago! These headsets allow students to travel the world in the blink of an eye! Look at those smiles! They are a blast to try! They can view animals up close, go inside museums, visit a cave, go inside a volcano, swim with sharks, fly over a city, and so much more!!
It’s game week during Family time!! These games were sponsored by the Sioux Falls Public Schools Education Foundation grant last year! Our focus with these activities were for the kids to practice using cooperation, good sportsmanship, learning something new, and working collaboratively with other age students in a small group. Students will stay with their original family but then will rotate to each classroom to try a new activity! The games included Quick Cups, Spot It, Guess in 10, Perfection, Shut the Box, and Otrio! All of these were so fun! Thanks again to our generous sponsors!
❄️ More Snow = More Fun! ❄️
Establishing healthy eating habits is the focus of this month's Family Forum Series, brought to you by Avera Behavioral Health and the Sioux Falls School District.
