💡 No Power? No Problem! 😂

This morning, we had a little power outage, but that didn’t stop the learning! Ms. Evans’ class was resourceful and found a way to keep the learning going, even without the lights!

And just like that… LET THERE BE LIGHT! 💡😂 We’re back up and running!

At ATK, the power may go out, but the learning stays ON! 📚❤️

Dots, dots, EVERYWHERE! 🔴🟡🟢🔵

Our ATK Bears had a DOT-tastic time celebrating International Dot Day! From colorful dots to creative activities, our Bears showed us that even the smallest dot can make a BIG mark!

Ms. Gladney’s class even took it a step further with their project, “But Is It Just a Dot?” 🤔🎨 What a fun way to get our Bears thinking, creating, and using their imaginations!

Keep shining, creating, and making your mark, Bears! 🐻❤️🖤
