Scenes from Around the School:
At PES, learning is always full of creativity, collaboration, and hands-on activities that make every day an adventure!
In Señora Giles’ Spanish class, Kindergarten students put their vocabulary skills to the test by finding objects that matched the colors and numbers she called out. It was an engaging way to bring this beautiful language to life.
First graders enjoyed a “sweet” math lesson, practicing their fact families by building colorful ice cream cones together. Turning abstract concepts like this into something tangible makes learning both effective and fun.
Third graders explored the water cycle by creating rain clouds in a jar. This hands-on experiment tied directly to their study of weather patterns, deepening their understanding of how precipitation forms and why it’s essential to our planet.
Fourth graders teamed up for a Fraction Scavenger Hunt as they prepared for an upcoming test. It was exciting to see their collaboration and critical thinking skills in action.
The robust curriculum at PES is designed to engage hearts and minds, making every lesson meaningful, memorable, and exciting for our students.
