How kids grow
In our recent Child Development workshop, PPA scholars studied how children use play to learn important coping skills that help the human population adapt and survive as adults. Then they made toys based on what they learned, applying knowledge of tools and materials science as well as brain science.
Classroom Adventures
A group of PPA students traveled to Sun Prairie East High School for the annual Reality Rocks event. Students practiced navigating through life’s challenges by being assigned a career, salary, and other circumstances. Students had fun making decisions at different stations and learned about economics and life skills in the process.
Cindy's Book Study
PPA scholars and I have been reading, writing about, and having in-depth conversations regarding the memoir by Shaka Senghor titled Writing my Wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison. It is an unique and personal story of forgiveness, hope, second chances, and needed social justice reform. We are learning and analyzing the types of structure and care that are necessary to build and support a healthy and thriving community of loved and needed individuals.
Bus Information
Reminders For Morning Bus Riders
As cold and snowy weather is upon us, here are a few reminders for students riding the bus in the mornings:
Arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled pick up time.
Wait on the sidewalk or close to the curb if there aren’t sidewalks. Stay out of the road and others’ yards.
Don’t cross the road until the driver signals and the bus comes to a complete stop before attempting to board.
Students must have their bus tag with them when riding the bus. Replacement bus tags can be picked up at the school. A photo of the bus tag on their cell phone is acceptable. Students may be denied if they don’t have a bus tag and the driver doesn’t recognize them.

Recordatorios para los que viajan en autobús por la mañana
Debido a que el clima frío y nevada se avecina, aquí hay algunos recordatorios para los estudiantes que viajan en autobús por la mañana:
llegue a la parada de autobús al menos 5 minutos antes de la hora programada de recogida.
espere en la acera o cerca de la acera si no hay aceras. Manténgase fuera de la carretera y de los patios de los demás.
no cruce la calle hasta que el conductor haga la señal y el autobús se detenga por completo antes de intentar abordar.
Los estudiantes deben tener su etiqueta de autobús con ellos cuando viajen en el autobús. Las etiquetas de autobús de reemplazo se pueden recoger en la escuela. Se acepta una foto de la etiqueta del autobús en su teléfono celular. Los estudiantes pueden ser negados si no tienen una etiqueta de autobús y el conductor no los reconoce.
