| Mr.
Noonen, 7B science teacher, Dan Rees, Edison
science teacher, and Linda Norman, Edison learning center teacher,
recently went to Albuquerque, N.M. to present the results of
the ISU/PDS Summer Science Workshop. The purpose of the ISU/PDS
Science Workshop was to train teachers to use available technology
to increase the science achievement of elementary students in
Pekin School District #108. Teachers designed PowerPoint presentations
around problem-based lessons utilizing the Illinois State Standards.
All of the PowerPoint presentations can be found and downloaded
for free from the following website: http://www.pekin.net/pekin108/pds/science/index.html |

| Students from Mrs. Brown's fourth hour
prepared an old fashioned radio broadcast of the teleplay "The Monsters are Due On Maple Street" by Rod Serling for Mrs. Melloy's fifth hour. It was such a beautiful day, we decided to move the production outside. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather and the efforts of Mrs. Brown's students. |
