@image /content/dam/pebblegodev/blog/Dec-25-content-release.png a stick figures head and a purple background This [b]December[/b], we’re releasing [b] 28 new PebbleGo Next articles[/b] (in both English and Spanish) across Animals, Biographies, and Social Studies, continuing our mission to grow with your classrooms and support standards-based instruction. @h6 PebbleGo Next Animals Since launching on August 1, [b]PebbleGo Next Animals[/b] has been a favorite addition for upper-elementary learners ready to dig deeper into science and research. PebbleGo Next Animals launched with 150 articles and included brand-new additions like <i>[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/13403]Barn Owls[/url]</i>, <i>[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/13450]Brown Bears[/url]</i>, and <i>[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/13467]White-Tailed Deer[/url]</i>, alongside PebbleGo favorites like <i>[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/13297]Axolotls[/url]</i>, <i>[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/13515]Polar Bears[/url]</i>, and the <i>[url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/13544]Tyrannosaurus Rex[/url]</i>. This mix gave older learners fresh content that aligns with common 3-5 standards to explore while allowing them to dive deeper into the animals they learned about in PebbleGo. With this release, we’re expanding the collection with new favorites—like <i>Emperor Penguins</i>, <i>Manatees</i>, <i>Blue Sharks</i>, and <i>Immortal Jellyfish</i>. These updates mean that the [b]top 50 most popular animal articles in PebbleGo[/b] will now also be available in PebbleGo Next, helping educators bridge content between early and upper grades with ease. @h6 PebbleGo Next Social Studies Our upcoming Social Studies additions [b]combine high-interest topics and standards alignment[/b]. You’ll find new articles on U.S. national parks—including <i>Acadia</i>, <i>Everglades</i>, <i>Great Smoky Mountains</i>, and <i>Zion</i>. These were chosen for their cross-curricular potential and popularity among park-goers. To extend classroom connections, educators can pair the national park articles with their corresponding state article, landforms, or animal habitats in PebbleGo for layered exploration. For example, after reading about <i>[b]Everglades National Park[/b]</i>, students might explore the <i>[b][url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/6009]Florida[/url][/b]</i> article to learn about the state’s unique geography, then connect what they’ve learned by examining how <i>[b][url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/857]Wetlands[/url][/b]</i> supports animals like <i>[b]Manatees[/b]</i> and <i>[b][url=https://app.pebblego.com/pgnplayer/articles/13432]Alligators[/url][/b]</i>. Discussions could center on how climate, location, and conservation efforts shape the park’s ecosystem. We’re also adding to the PebbleGo Next Economics category with topics like <i>Inflation and Deflation</i>, <i>Banks and Financial Institutions</i>, and <i>Types of Capital</i>. These articles make complex ideas approachable for grades 3–5. With this update, [b]PebbleGo Next supports 87% of 3rd - 5th grade economics standards[/b] across the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework. @h6 PebbleGo Next Biographies Our new Biographies offer a mix of influential historical and contemporary figures, reflecting voices that connect to the interests of today’s learners. This update includes <i>Jim Thorpe</i>, <i>Jalen Hurts</i>, and <i>Sabrina Carpenter</i>. Each new biography adds a meaningful perspective from history, athletics, or the arts, giving students fresh examples of leadership, creativity, and expression. @h6 Managing Content and Staying Updated All new articles appear automatically for subscribers, and building administrators can [url=https://www.pebblego.com/resources/help-center/admin-support/content-management]easily tailor[/url] which modules and topics are visible to best align with their school’s learning goals.
