What's Happening at Peake...

Second Grade Science News 

In the second grade study of animals and their habitats, students explored various ecosystems, including forests, deserts, oceans, and wetlands. They researched different animals, learning about their physical characteristics, behaviors, and the specific environments they inhabit. To enhance their understanding, each student created a project that showcased their findings, which included dioramas, posters, and oral presentations.

Cultural Show and Tell

Students in Mrs. Crow's ELD Classes had an opportunity to practice their oral communication skills and share special things from one another's native country with a Cultural Show and Tell Day.  Each student shared something that represented their Native country.  This was such a fun and friendly way for students to learn to speak in front of one another with more ease. This activity also left everyone more knowledgeable and more appreciative of one another and where they came from. We even learned how to speak some Papiamento from our student from Aruba.  Countries represented were Bulgaria, China, Aruba, Mexico, Cameroon, and Honduras.  Peake Elementary is very fortunate to have these students here with us.

Hello everyone!

This week, our focus will be on the word of the month: Responsibility.

In our guidance lessons, we will explore what it means to be responsible both at school and at home. We'll discuss ways to manage our tasks, take ownership of our actions, and understand the importance of being dependable. Looking forward to a great week of learning and growth!

“Don’t just wish for it, work for it!”
