WDHS students in Physical Science Chemistry with Ms. Bowles had a blast exploring decomposition reactions and the impact of catalysts during their elephant toothpaste lab. The experiment gave students an opportunity to dig in, get a little messy, and see firsthand how reactions can be manipulated. 🧪
Learning comes to life when students can experience science in action!

Our prekindergarten students celebrated Teddy Bear Day as part of our February math theme at Peosta Elementary. Students brought a favorite bear from home and enjoyed sharing about their special friend with classmates!
Throughout the day, students measured their bears using manipulatives, weighed and compared them, drew pictures, and sorted them into groups. They also used blocks to build cozy homes for their bears and ended the day with a few extra snuggles during rest time.
It was a fun and engaging way to build math skills through hands-on learning! 🧸
