Hello PWS Families,

Although it was a short week at PWS it was still a busy week!  Students were working hard to put in the work of a full week in only four days. This week we had visitors from Animal Encounters and the Audubon Society.

THIS SUNDAY-SCHOOL YARD CLEAN UP DAY
Our school yard continues to be a learning environment for our students.  To maintain the school yard it takes many hands.  We are asking for your help as a family on Sunday to come to our PWS School Yard Clean Up Day starting at 9:00.  We will be raking, painting, weeding etc...)Please bring shovels, gloves, rakes, and wheel barrows.  If you have any questions please contact Peggie Hart hartm@bedfordnhk12.net or Jessica Ferenc at ferencj@bedfordnhk12.net.  Real World Learning Community service hours are available.

4th Grade IA

The PWS IA team has enjoyed integrating a fourth grade unit across the disciplines.  In art, students learned about different paper glazing processes that ultimately became papers for a collage that inspired their own writings.  In library, students have practiced “bringing words off the page” as they recited a self-selected poem.  In PE, using one of the selected poems, students are working in groups to create movement maps and choreograph their poems.  Finally, using their music aptitude, they are creating their own instrument tracks in accompaniment to their choreography.  It has been a beautiful example of integration and teaching to the whole child.  

VOLUNTEER BREAKFAST

This is an important reminder about the Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast on June 5th at 9:00.  We welcome all volunteers to express our appreciation for all that you do to make PWS the special place that it is.
