JUNE 2024

Hello Summer!
We are looking forward to some fun in the sun!
During the summer months here at Glen Peters School the staff and students enjoy being outside in the fresh air playing on the playground, taking walks and of course using our beloved SQUIRT ZONE. Did you know that the squirt zone was funded by The Parents & Friends of Glen Peters Organization? It has been enjoyed by so many since 2013!

Brothers & Sisters of GPS students can sign up for some summer fun too!
The MISD is hosting a three day SibShop Summer Camp this month, each day is at a different school. Keep your eyes out for the flyer to be sent home in your student's back pack, Remind, and weekly emails. If you are interested in signing up, scan the QR code to register online!

Hello From Ms. Bridget’s SXI Transition Classroom!
Do you love summertime? I know we certainly do!! We have started our spring/summer season out by traveling around our community and experiencing some local goodies! Cinco De Mayo was recognized by our students with an adventure out to eat at El Charro’s. We enjoyed some tacos and beans and had a lovely afternoon out with our fellow classmates.
Our students then visited our neighborhood reptile store, Raising Reptiles. We were able to watch turtles, lizards, snakes, and iguanas walk around the store and learn what each of them do daily.
We rounded out the month with an enjoyable outdoor adventure to George George Park. The students took in the beautiful outdoor scenery and walked around the trails.
We will continue our learning in the classroom by studying animal habitats and focusing on student goals!!
Enjoy your summer!

Hello From Ms. Paige’s Middle School SCI Classroom!
After being cooped up inside all winter, SCI 5 has “splashed" into our summer schedule with lots of fun! We have appreciated the long-awaited sunshine by enjoying extra playground time and the Glen Peters splash pad.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching my middle schoolers mature this year and appropriately engaging with one another when playing with heir classmates. We will continue the summer fun this month with Popsicle unit and making summer sensory bins.

Hello From Ms. Kyle’s Elementary SCI Classroom!

HOLY COW!! June is already here! Ms. Kyle’s room has kept very busy all year long. We work hard weekly towards our words of the week with Ms. Eve in Speech. We love to work our fine and gross motor with OT/PT and to keep our bodies moving in gym class! We just competed in Special Olympics where we ran our tails off and received the best ribbons for doing our best!
We have been working hard on our talent show performance of Old MacDonald Had a Farm and had an amazing parent turn out. We have also been working towards our 4H preparation of making garden markers for our raised garden bed project. We will be showcasing our work in August at the Armada Fair! Our little ones have been enjoying the beautiful weather and have gotten to explore the Squirt Zone and playground weekly as the sun begins to shine a bit more. We look forward to the summer months where we can have more times to adventure outside and learn about all things nature! Room 111 is a busy and happy group and we wouldn’t have it any other way!!

PBIS NOTES:
Our PBIS Assemblies have ended for the 23-24 school year; we had so much fun celebrating our Students of the Month from each classroom through out the year. We celebrated our students for BEING GOOD LISTNERS, BEING GOOD FRIENDS, AND MAKING GOOD CHOICES with music, dancing, cheers led by our cheer team and mascot-Peter Panther! We heard some great stories about our feelings, as we explored the book series A Little Spot of Feelings: Emotion Detective, by Diane Alber. It takes a team of volunteers to put on these assemblies; we appreciate all the work they do and we appreciate the families that come out to celebrate their student with us.
We are wrapping up our fundraising efforts for our Gotcha Store with our Popsicle Party. You still have time to send in your donation if you would like to help support all of our PBIS activities. We want to THANK all those who have supported us throughout the school year.

The month of May was packed full of celebrations of the many talents of our students and staff. Thank you to all of those parents and family members that attended our annual talent show. We are in awe of the creativity, variety of talent and bravery that students (and staff) displayed performing in front of such a large audience.
Congratulations to all our student athletes who participated in Special Olympics events this month. We have been grateful to have beautiful weather for these occasions as we celebrate the talents and abilities of our students. We are thankful for the many volunteers from local high schools and businesses as well as those parents and family members that came to support students at these events.
Thank you to the 4th grade students in Ms. Sobel’s class at Ojibwa for partnering with us in our Peer Pal program this month. Peer Pals visited our elementary aged classrooms and partnered with students during classroom activities. Their spirit and excitement to help with our students brought great energy to the building.
As we draw closer to the end of the traditional school year, we would like to extend our sincere congratulations to our 5 completers from our MOCI program. We have been honored to be a part of their journey and wish them continued success and joy as they transition to Lutz School.
From the entire Peters team- THANK YOU to the Parents & Friends of Glen Peters Organization and to all those family members that volunteered their time and resources. Once again, the creative talents of this organization transformed our lobby for staff appreciation week. The thoughtfulness that went into every detail was evident and we are grateful to have such tremendous support from our families.
