Mrs. Crow, our ESOL interventionist has been visiting classrooms and reading "Your Name Is a Song" to our students.

Last week, Dave Jaskey read to Ms. Hesse's third grade class. Thank you Mr. Jaskey!

Dyslexia Awareness Month is celebrated in October every year. The month was established by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) to raise awareness and educate the public about dyslexia. 

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that affects reading and language processing. It's not a sign of low intelligence.

During Dyslexia Awareness Month, people focus on: 

• Promoting a more inclusive and accessible world for people with dyslexia and low literacy 

• Celebrating dyslexic excellence 

• Spreading knowledge and understanding of dyslexia 

These are some links to some helpful resources and information.

Candygram order forms are coming home in today's communication folder.

The Third Grade will present "All American Me and You" on Thursday, October 17th at 1:30 and 6 PM. All third graders will be performing. They will wear nice blue jeans and solid-colored shirts according to their homeroom classes: Mrs. Wyatt and Ms. Cole’s classes should wear WHITE shirts. Mrs. Resnick and Mrs. Hesse’s classes should wear RED shirts. Ms. MaGee’s class should wear BLUE shirts. You may add patriotic extras as long as they do not distract or block students (tall hats, anything that makes noise, etc..). Students should bring their clothes to school in a bag marked with their name for the afternoon performance. They should wear them to school for the evening performance and arrive in the gym by 5:45 PM. We have been working hard on the songs during MUSIC class.

If your 3rd grade student is related to a military member, and you would like for us to include you in our slideshow, please send the note in your communication folders back to Mrs. Pritchard with any names you'd like included.

We are excited to have Family Shared Lunches at Peake! Each homeroom will have a scheduled day for family to join their students for lunch. Adult lunches are cash only and are $4.25 each. You do not have to purchase a lunch to eat with your child. All adults visiting the campus during lunch will be required to check in at the office and provide a driver's license for a visitor's pass. Classroom and recess visits are not allowed at this time.
