That’s a wrap on two fun-filled weeks with the Prairie Public Learning Express! ❤️📚🧪🎨 Our students had so many opportunities to explore, create, build, imagine, problem-solve, and PLAY with the 14 different activity bins aboard the Learning Express! We kicked things off with dramatic play, explored hands-on activities throughout the two weeks, and discovered that the Cardboard Makedo was a HUGE hit! And, of course, since the Learning Express joined us during Homecoming Week, we had to make sure Elmo and Grover were ready to cheer on the Bombers! ❤️🖤 Thank you, Prairie Public, for bringing this amazing resource right to DPS.

❤️What a wonderful and FUN homecoming week for our students! Here are a few highlights! 🏈
