September 28, 2018 - Week 5

Greetings Dale Street Community!


What a great week here at Dale Street! It was finally a five day week and we made the best of it by filling the fifth day with more amazing things!  Take a minute to scroll through and to check out the sights from this week.  



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.

Today in Mrs. Lowerre's fifth grade classroom students worked in teams and acted as archaeologists.  Students dug to locate artifacts that may have been used by the ancient Mayan civilization.  Total engagement and wonderful learning.  




Check this out....this student took time at recess to create this amazing peace symbol!  So awesome!




Check out the PTO update  for information you don't want to miss! 


Dale Street reading specialist, Mrs. Callahan, used time this week to visit Mr. Douglas' fourth grade classroom.  Their focus: learning different strategies to help students respond to literature.  




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

This student has been a role model for respect in her class!  
This student helped out without even being asked!


Ms. DiPesa's grade 4 students got the chance to explore different genres today when they participated in a "Book Tasting."  The students loved getting the chance to see all the different selections and they loved the restaurant atmosphere too!  




Ms. Bertschmann's fifth grade students created this awesome bulletin board showcasing our "One Community, One Theme."  Stop by and check it out if you are here at Dale.   You will LOVE it!    


On Thursday, Mrs. Crable's fourth grade class spent their reader's workshop time in Dale Street's Library Media Center.  Special thanks to Mrs. Cowell for always providing a welcoming environment and our partners, MCPE, for providing the generous funding so our students can enjoy literature comfortably.  







On Wednesday, students in Mrs. Foley's and Ms. Condon's fifth grade classes took time to explore the Mayan and Aztec cultures by designing paper-mâché masks. #talentedstudents  











Please be aware that picture retakes will take place on Tuesday, October 16th.  Students who would like a retake need to return their entire packet minus the class photo on the day of the retake. 



Special thanks to all of the Dale Street parents who have volunteered to be room parents this year.  The annual Room Parent Tea took place yesterday and we are lucky to have such dedicated parents! 



Dale Street teachers took time this week to participate in hands-on science professional development.  Grade 4 and 5 teachers investigated ways to integrate engineering ideas into our science curriculum.  The collaborative time together helped model our core value of Continuous Growth.  




For your child's safety, please have your child arrive at school after 8:10 am.  There will be no supervision before that time.


Enjoy your weekend and we look forward to seeing the kids back on Monday!



Sincerely,
Steve

Respect • Compassion • Collaboration • Continuous Growth
