Our 4th graders had an incredible day aboard the Sultana! ⛵🌊 Students stepped back in time as they explored life on a historic schooner, learned about the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem, and experienced hands-on history in a way that brought their classroom learning to life. From raising sails to discovering the importance of environmental stewardship, it was a day full of adventure, teamwork, and unforgettable memories. A big thank you to the Sultana crew for an amazing experience—and to our teachers and chaperones for making it all possible!

Our 5th Graders had a wonderful trip to Linchester Mill today, and had the opportunity to make real-world connections to many of the ELA, Science, and SS concepts they've been learning! Students toured "mill proper" and learned about the history of the mill and the engineering concepts behind the machinery. They also toured the one-room schoolhouse and learned about student life in the late 1800s, and even got to try out some common children's games of the past, such as "Anti-Over" (which involved students throwing a ball over the roof of the schoolhouse), marbles, and hopscotch. Such detailed information was shared in the journal of an actual student! In ELA, they enjoyed a recitation of Mary Oliver's "When I Am Among the Trees" and used the descriptive imagery from the poem to create mental images of the topic and learned how nature often serves as inspiration for writers. Students also learned about archaeology and local ecosystems as they planted a pin oak and cleared trash and yard waste from mill property as a service learning project.

A favorite PES tradition was in full swing today as our kindergartners enjoyed their annual Easter egg hunt! 🐣🌷
After the excitement of searching for eggs, the learning continued back in the classroom where students used their eggs as math manipulatives to build and explore 10 frames. It was the perfect blend of fun and learning—creating meaningful connections while making memories.
We love seeing our youngest learners engaged, excited, and growing every d
