PEEPS Service Learning focuses on learning through the design process using critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and perseverance to work on designing meaningful ways to help our school and community! We begin by focusing on what a PEEP is - a person who creates a Positive Environment for Everyone in Perry.
Some of our projects include: ways to make our school a better place, pen pal letters with senior citizens, visits with senior citizens, Halloween candy for homeless, soup kitchen visits, making cards for hospitalized children, collections for the Perry Center, visiting places (like Thriving Threads), collections of pull tabs for the Ronald McDonald House, collections for the homeless, and many others! Our students are excited to serve our school and community, by finding their passion in helping, so they can design ways to help others.

Learning new language skills is a hallmark of kindergarten. Students will learn about the alphabet and its role in reading. Students will practice rhyming, matching words with beginning sounds, and blending sounds into words. Practice with these types of activities is a powerful step toward learning to read and spell correctly. The size of your child's vocabulary is another key factor in his or her ability to read and comprehend books and stories. Students also will begin to experiment with writing and will be encouraged to use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing letters to share information, ideas, and feelings.

Students in 2nd grade will gain more skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. They continue to learn and practice rules for matching sounds to letters that make up words, and they learn new concepts — such as words that share the same root (e.g., add and additional) — that help them figure out the meanings of new words. Writing will become an exciting way for the student to use newly learned words and phrases to express ideas. As they write and speak, 2nd graders will be more attentive to the formal and informal uses of English and will spell most words correctly in their writing.

Third grade is a pivotal year for students. Learning to read with fluency and confidence will serve as a foundation for the reading demands in later grades. By practicing with learning-to-read strategies, students will reliably be able to make sense of multisyllable words in books. Students will come to appreciate that words have meanings that are not literal (e.g., a piece of cake) and have relationships to other words (e.g., company and companion). Recognizing and understanding words will help students read increasingly challenging stories and books and build knowledge about the world around them. By the end of the year, students also will be writing clear sentences and paragraphs on a range of topics, drawing on an expanding vocabulary.
