Annunciation Catholic School (ACS) provided a fun summer session for incoming second through fifth graders this past July. The week-long session was a joint partnership between ACS and Level Up Village utilizing a webinar-based curriculum to teach children how to become better global citizens. The students interacted with citizens from Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Ghana. They learned about the culture, art, food and animals of each country. Students also enjoyed engaging Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) experiments, which were led by the host person from each country.
ACS upheld a 5:1 student-teacher ratio and followed social distancing standards in a caring and fun environment. Students participated in culturally-relevant activities and also received lessons from ACS enrichment teachers in Art, Catholic Identity, and Social-Emotional Learning.
Feedback from parents, students, and teachers alike was that the summer session was a wonderful learning experience and everyone was so excited to be back on the ACS campus.
