| Special thanks to Henry, Charlotte, Sam, Stella and Morgan from Mrs. Lowerre's class for sharing their fidget spinner research with me this week. You were all awesome! Former Dale Street students and current Blake Middle School sixth graders visited our fifth graders as another way to assist in our young learners transitions. Thank you for all your advice!   
Summer Reading
As the 2016-17 school year comes to an end, it’s important to remember that reading doesn’t have to! The Medfield Public Schools is committed to keeping literacy skills sharp by encouraging reading all summer long. Reading throughout the summer will help to prevent learning loss (also known as the ‘Summer Slide’). There are many summertime distractions that can often take the place of reading, but it’s important to stick with a reading routine. Every day your child reads, he or she is strengthening important reading skills. Reading consistently during your summer break, can truly make a difference. This year, we encourage families of all elementary aged students to participate in our Summer Reading Challenges! Visit this site to learn about the challenges and gain access to a variety of resources to support your summer reader(s)!
In addition, check out the information sessions that were prepared and presented by the Medfield Reading Department during our recent Family Literacy Night! Many of the resources and suggestions that are embedded throughout these presentations will help you support your child(ren) during the summer months and beyond!
We hope you find all of these resources helpful as you prepare for your summer break! In the fall, we’ll celebrate the summer reading efforts you and your family will make during July and August! Happy reading!

Special thanks to Blake Middle School students for visiting Dale Street this week to present 'Creature Features.' These students truly did a fantastic job and it was so cool to have Dale Street alumni back at our school.

| Special thanks to Matthew from Mrs. Crable's class for sharing today's book recommendation. Matthew recommended Greek Heroes by Percy Jackson because it was adventurous and full of humor. Matthew gave this book 7 stars! Thanks Matthew! |

Lost and Found
Don't forget to check the lost and found for any missing sweatshirts, hats, water bottles, etc. All unclaimed items will be donated to charity on the last day of school.
On behalf of all of the employees at the Dale Street School, I would like to wish all of the fathers and grandfathers a Happy Father's Day.

Thanks to Alexander from Ms. Burnham's class for sharing the awesome Bridge story that he wrote. He shared it over the morning announcements this morning.
