Peter Woodbury School-A Place Where People Care!

May 28, 2021

 

Dear PWS Families, 

 

We hope this post finds you well and you have been able to enjoy some time in the sun over the last week with your children. Our fourth graders all got a chance to participate in Lego Day this week. Students worked in small groups to create some engineering designs with legos and computer coding. Other grade levels in the school got to participate in building Wiggle Bots. Students built simple machine designs that operated off the power of a battery. It was wonderful to see all of the engineering designs that the students came up with this week. Please take a moment to see all that is going on at PWS and around the district.
