Last week, our PES fourth graders celebrated National 4th Graders’ Day — ALL WEEK long! 🎉
Students enjoyed a variety of hands-on activities throughout the week. Highlights included science labs testing thermal conductors and insulators, creating series and parallel circuits, exploring how sound waves travel by making cup phones, and investigating how static electricity can cause objects to repel, attract, and even bend water! ⚡🔬
We wrapped up the week by identifying chemical and physical changes during a hot cake chemistry lab — complete with some very fancy (and delicious) pancakes. 🥞✨
It was a fantastic week of learning and fun!

🧥❄️ Pre-K Panthers are getting ready for colder weather! 🐾
Our Pre-K Panthers in Ms. Trina and Ms. Michelle's class are practicing independence by learning how to put on their coats and zip them up all by themselves. When they master this skill, they officially become members of the Zipper Club and earn a Paw Charm! ⭐️🐾
Way to go, little Panthers—we are so proud of you! 🧡🖤 (We may need your help convincing the Middle and High School Panthers that coats are cool! IYKYK 😂🥶)
