Students from Peru State College, along with Dr. Tony Citrin, Dr. Kelly Kingsley and Dean Ellie Kunkel, recently taught a series of mini-lessons to 144 fourth grade students at the Union Pacific Museum in Council Bluffs. The Peru State students, taking courses in elementary education, provided 10 minute lessons for the Rue Elementary students who rotated through different stations.

At one station, Peru State students used hoops to show how messages were relayed to moving trains. At another, Dr. Citrin demonstrated how important time-keeping was to the railroad industry. The lessons will be donated to the museum for use by volunteers.
