🌎💧 SCIENCE IN ACTION! 💧🌎
Our 4th graders took their erosion knowledge outside the classroom and onto the PHESA school grounds! As part of their PBL journey, students searched for real-life signs of erosion like washed-away soil, exposed roots, and runoff paths. Then, they put their heads together to brainstorm creative, practical solutions to help protect our campus. From observations to problem-solving, they’re learning how science connects to the world around them and how they can make a difference! 🧠🌱

💡☀️ Shining bright in 1st grade! ✏️📚
Our 1st graders have been exploring the difference between natural light and artificial light—and their discoveries were glowing! 🌞💡 Using pictures and headings, students sorted examples into two columns, learning how to organize ideas visually.
As part of their PBL unit, teachers modeled a class chart of AVID two-column notes, and students worked together to add information. This hands-on activity was a brilliant first step toward building note-taking skills and organizing their thinking like pros! 🌟
