Today for science Mrs. DeCrane took 3rd grade outside to experience the magic of the Ginkgo tree. An amazing detail about the Ginkgo Tree is that it loses all of its leaves in a day or less. The kids were very happy to get to see it happen and experience it!
Please take some time to consider this amazing opportunity through the 4-H Extension Office!
Our 3rd graders got to enjoy some time with the residents at Winning Wheels on Halloween. The students got to visit Winning Wheels and trick-or-treat with the residents. We are so thankful that this tradition is coming back!
You might have noticed that our Flag looks a little different at PES! Thank you to Mrs. Barton's Kindergarten class for changing out our Flag just in time for Veteran's Day. The Kindergarten students learned about the history of the Flag, what each part of the Flag represents, and how to properly fold the Flag.
Come help us honor our Veterans at 10am on Monday at PES!

Miss Cayson-Roth's class entered a giveaway with Prodigy. Prodigy is a free educational website that works on developing Math and English skills. It is game based, but the questions are based on their level they placed in their placement test. The teacher can also assign specific skills for the kids!
Not only did they win the giveaway they also recieved merchandise and the cards with codes in order to work on their skills at home. The recognition continues as well because they also were the winners of the Illinois grade levels competition:
Every two weeks the game runs a “competition” between grade levels in the state. From September 15-September 29 our class answered the most questions!
