Yesterday, as I was collaborating with our 3rd grade teachers at Van Meter, I logged into PebbleGo to show them the NEW PebbleGo Next. 

In this blog post, I want to feature a specific set of resources that I think you’ll love! The first is a collection of articles around health, and the second is resources for educators on social-emotional learning. Let’s dive into what you’ll find in these new offerings from PebbleGo.

Are you looking for resources to recommend to families, or use with your own young children? Earlier this year, I featured PebbleGo on my site and lots of ways to use their reading platform in the classroom. With a sudden shift to distance learning, I wanted to share with you a few quick tips and free nonfiction articles for kids.

I was so excited to get this little surprise in the mail from my friends at Capstone over the holiday. They are the PebbleGo Curiosity Cards and as the playing card box says they Spark curiosity and inspire inquiry with 52 distinct questions that can be answered by searching within PebbleGo. 

Whether you are an educator or a family, right now we are all navigating the world of learning at home. There are so many digital resources to utilize, but that does not mean learners have to stay in front of a screen all day. Here are 4 different projects that use the PebbleGo modules and spark creativity with resources you might already have around your home.

Many teachers use PebbleGo as a core resource in their elementary school’s remote learning day plans because of its ease of access at home on any internet-connected device and the wealth of curriculum-connected articles, all with at least one activity included. This allows even your youngest students to have uninterrupted learning and engagement with a wide-range of academic content. Here are 8 ideas to take advantage of PebbleGo as a part of your remote learning day plans.

Who will win this year’s Barrow Peace Prize? This annual project has become a rite of passage at our elementary school that students, teachers, and families look forward to each year. The project weaves together research, persuasive writing, art, public speaking, and global connections.

For Digital Learning Day this week on February 27, we will be celebrating with The Van Meter School Digital Learning Day Technology Playground.  We will be hosting it in the library and have invited our teachers to sign up for a time to come with their students throughout the day. 

As we celebrate Presidents Day, here is a little PebbleGo Tip to kick off the celebrations and learning this week.
