PLE teachers were treated to “dinner at the beach” on Monday, November 16th during Teacher Conferences.  Since PLE’s theme is Dive Into Learning, the dinner theme was "Under the Sea".  Dinner for the teachers included seafood appetizers, sandwiches, soups, LOTS of desserts and—of course!—beach music playing in the background!  Thanks to Kathleen McNight for chairing this event and all our volunteers who help show the teachers how much we appreciate them!

Laughs and Learning During ANIMAL ADAPTATIONS by David Stokes
 
sponsored by PTO Educational Partnerships

 

Through the use of songs, stories, movement, riddles, and some LIVE animals, David Stokes helped the PLE first graders learn how animals adapt to their environment. Some animals eat plants, some eat bugs, some eat other animals.  Some live on land, some in water, and some on both. He believes in entertaining while educating, and he definitely did both!  All of the students were actively engaged in learning by either repeating fun filled animal facts or by using hand sign language to identify an animal.

 

Upcoming events will be posted in the PLE Monthly Newsletter, and parents are always welcome to attend.
