May 11-May15

Sawubona, Team Peake!

This Zulu greeting is how your child will greet me and his or her friends each day this week as we are traveling through the beautiful and culturally diverse country of South Africa. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of our International Travelers Committee, our school is able to participate in an engaging and fun-filled journey that will leave them feeling as if they have truly traveled to another country.

Please encourage your child's learning by asking him or her to teach you about the different facts that they have learned throughout the week! Team Peake is already off to a fantastic start. Thank you so much to those who have volunteered their time to be with us!

Here are a few important reminders and annoucements:

All library books must be returned ASAP as Ms. Stewart is collecting end of the year inventory. Letters will be going home THIS FRIDAY for overdue notices, so please make sure if any library books are in your home to have your child return those so that you do not receive this letter.

Please send in a self-addressed and stamped envelope in with your child by THIS FRIDAY, March 15th. We will be using these to send home final report cards.

Team Peake filled up the BIG BUCKET OF FUZZIES for the second time this year!!! They have decided that their reward will be to "silly string" their teacher. Oh yikes! The students have truly had excellent behavior and have worked as a team to receive this reward. Way to go, 1st graders!

Congratulations to our newest Star Student, Chris Thomas! We are proud of our hard working and caring friend. We are looking forward to learning more about our friend, Chris and what makes him so special! Way to go!
