Academic Spotlight!
Literacy: Next week we will work with the letters Oo, Pp, Qq, Rr, and Ss. Students will also learn two new sight words; the and little. We will continue practice writing our first names using a capital letter at the beginning and lower case for the other letters. Look for the printed book Little Me to come home. Please have your child re-read this to you and show you the words I, am, the, and little. We will be reading a FABULOUS story next week called Plaidypus Lost. The students will make a paper bag puppet to go with the story and will hopefully re-tell you what happens.
Math: The students will be working with SOL K.10 to learn the basic shapes(circle, triangle, square, and rectangle). Students will learn to recognize each shape and describe it. Circles have no lines or corners. Triangles have 3 sides and 3 corners. Squares have 4 equal sides and 4 corners. Rectangles have 4 sides, two long and two short, and 4 corners.
Unit: Next week we will begin learning about colors, Science SOL K.4. Each day we will work with a different color by making books, singing songs, and learning rhymes. Please try to dress your child in the color of the day, even if it is just a little bit(socks count too)!

Attention All ‘DADS’ of
Peak View Elementary School
Students!!!
‘Donuts with Dad’ Event
Fathers and Father-figures,
On Tuesday, September 25th from (8:00 – 8:45 am) we will have our annual ‘Donuts with Dad’ Event at our school. You and your students will meet here at the school cafeteria for FREE donuts and drinks. Throughout the meeting, we will have a presentation about our WATCH D.O.G.S.® (Dads Of Great Students) Program. WATCH D.O.G.S.® is an innovative program being used by schools across America which helps them to be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father-figures in their student’s life. The goal is to have you spend at least one day this year at the school to be a positive male role model and provide an extra set of eyes and ears.
‘Dads, granddads, uncles, step-dads and adult brothers . . . this is your chance to have some special time with your student in a fun atmosphere at school.
In order to participate, you need to do two things:
1. Let your child’s teacher know that you will attend this Dad Event so we’ll have an accurate head count for the food.
2. Mark your calendars, and we’ll see you Tuesday, September 25th from 8:00 – 8:45 am.
Sincerely,
John Mongold
