Principles of Education wants to wish the PCHS student body "Happy 67th day of learning!" #GrowingTheFuture #FutureTeachers
🌟 Field Trip Fun! 🌟
Mrs. Damm’s class had an amazing day exploring so many exciting topics! We learned all about space and astronauts, watched a great movie about the importance of spending time in nature, and even became investigators while learning about the Titanic at the Peoria Riverfront Museum.
One of our favorite parts of the day was checking out the incredible Wall of Music Records—the kids loved seeing all the albums and artwork and talking about their favorites! 🎶💿
What an awesome learning adventure! 🚀🍿🔍
