As another week comes to a close, I'm happy to share some of the great things happening at Dale Street. Please take a moment to read about both past and upcoming events and enjoy a few highlights from the week.
Students in Mrs. Curran's and Ms. Condon's fifth grade classes (with the help from Art teacher, Ms. Deveno) used the information that they learned about Aztec masks to create their own. Wonderful job, boys and girls!
Ms. DiPesa's students took time this week to study different author leads to assist them in their writing.
Halloween at Dale Street
The Dale Street staff met this week to talk about how we could work together to make next Friday, October 30th safe, exciting, and consistent for all students. Following our discussion, it has been decided that all of our classrooms:
- encourage all students to dress up in their costumes. Please note that students’ faces may not be covered with a mask, hood, or other item. Please do not allow your child to bring fake weapons into school to accompany his/her costume, and particularly violent themes should be avoided.
- will have Halloween themed activities. Activities will be teacher-directed and run throughout the day.
- will have classroom snacks sent into school on October 30th. The Head Room Parent will be coordinating this effort. Please keep food and drink to these four categories: something salty, something sweet, healthy fruit, and water. Additionally, please be sensitive of allergies within classrooms. The snack time and the Halloween themed activities will take place at different times depending on students’ schedules.
We understand, and are happy that the children will receive a plethora of treats on Saturday. Come Monday, the staff at Dale Street encourages healthy foods for student snack times to help promote optimal learning. Thank you in advance for your continued support.
