From bubble science to exploring density to observing live freshwater hydra, Mrs. Beech’s science class is showing that hands-on learning truly makes concepts come alive! 🧪🔬
When students can see it, test it, and experience it, the learning sticks. We love watching curiosity in action!

Another Kindergarten Math Master!

Thank you, Mr. Hilderbrand, for supporting our youngest learners and helping us foster a love of reading at Peebles! 💛

A couple of weeks ago, third graders started a school/home connections project. Each evening, students are randomly selected to take home one of the three class geese. These geese spend time with the students and their families for the evening. Students write about what they did while the goose was with them. Then, they return to school the next day and present. Families have the option of submitting pictures, as well. Every 3rd grade student will have the opportunity to participate. We wanted to share some highlights of these class geese adventures.
Due to the fragility of their legs, we have even had parents who "performed surgery" to reattach! Families are really enjoying this project!

Third grade began their study of Ruby Bridges and her contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. Students illustrated a scene in today's book, The Story of Ruby Bridges, by Robert Coles. Lots of thought went into each of the scenes that were drawn. One student was randomly selected from each homeroom to receive a take-home copy of three books that were donated by a community member.
