Peake Elementary School
What's Happening at Peake...
Miss HSU's Visit
Stories and STEM
In the library, students read “If I Built a House” by Chris Van Dusen. In this book, Jack imagines if he designed his own house. He has elaborate inventions, like his “all-in-one Kitchen-o-Mat” that does all of the cooking and cleaning, and his version of a shower the “Scrub-a-Dub-Dub” which uses a conveyor belt and robotic brushes to ensure you are clean.
What can you do at home:
-Ask your student to describe what their favorite room in Jack's"house" was, and have them tell you why.
-Ask your student to describe what the "house" they built looked like and what rooms were included.
-Describe what your "house" would look like or what rooms it would have.
-Create/sketch/design a "house" with your own futuristic ideas! Send a picture of it to Mrs. Pritchard at griffin.pritchard@arkadelphiaschools.org, and we will post some on Facebook and in our Newsletter!
