September 30, 2016 - Week 5

Dear Dale Street Families,

Another great week here at Dale Street!  Please take a minute to scroll through and check out some highlights from this week and catch up on some important reminders.

 There is no school on Monday, October 3rd 
in observance of Rosh Hashanah.   

This week students in Ms. DiPesa's fourth grade class participated in an author Skype with Nora Raleigh Baskin.  Ms. Baskin is the author of Nine, Ten, a book Ms. DiPesa's class is using as their first read aloud. What a great opportunity for these students!






Congratulations to our Positive Referrals this week.  Thank you for making our school such a great place!   We are very proud of you!







Vision Screening will take place next week (10/5-10/7) during Physical Education classes. Please remind students who have glasses to bring them to the screening. If you do not want to have your child participate in the screening, please notify the nurse by sending in a note or by email

Today, students in Ms. Sager's fifth grade classroom participated in student-led inquiry and discovery using Explain Everything.  #amazingstudents 










Congratulations to the students who were selected to serve on this year's Student Advisory Council as well as our Student Advisory Council alternates.  Thank you to all the boys and girls who submitted a letter of interest.  Although some students may not have been selected to serve on this year's council, we hope they will be active leaders bringing about creative ideas in their classrooms.

Special thanks to our wonderful PTO for providing all students and staff with these awesome welcome back wristbands!
Congratulations to Katie in Mrs. Crable's class for winning the MCPE Fall Ball Art Contest! Katie received a beautiful gift basket full of art supplies for her poster design. 



All students in grade 4 and grade 5 General Music are required to bring a recorder to every music session this year.  You may have already received a hard copy of the notice from you child.  Please send this notice back into school with your child if you have not already done so.  Your child will be learning to read music and improvise using this simple instrument.

Looking forward to making great music in General Music this year!


To gain a better understanding of adding and subtracting decimals, students in Ms. Bertschmann's fifth grade classroom used student-created menus to budget their breakfast, lunch and dinner choices for a day.  One student's comment, "Wow, Ms. Bertschmann!  You tricked us into adding and subtracting decimals!"  Very cool!





Thank you for reading and best wishes for a terrific long weekend.


Respectfully,
Steve
