January 25, 2019 - Week 21

Hello Dale Street!


This week students in Ms. Isaacson's fourth grade classroom used Morse Code to learn more about circuits.  One group actually figured a way to make their circuit work in the opposite way than intended.  Very cool!  









Congratulations and thank you to our Friday Lunch DJ's!  These three students selected some great tunes to play during each one of the lunches today.  






Registration for the Dale Street Intramural Program is now open.

Patriots Spirit Day!

The AWESOME staff at #beproudbedale had 'Florida Friday' today.  The students certainly got a kick out of it.  Hopefully it will warm up the temps :-)
