Amazing first week back at #beproudbedale! Take a look at some of the happenings....
Dale Street had a school-wide assembly this morning highlighting our school's Core Values. Special thanks to the students in Ms. Hayes' class for creating and leading the assembly. They did an outstanding job with their skits! Please check out the students in action highlighting our Core Value of Compassion.
From our custodians:
The Dale Street custodial team would like to thank all of our Dale Street students, families, and staff for the gifts, cards and treats bestowed upon us for Custodian Appreciation Day. It is truly an honor to serve such a great group of people and we truly enjoyed all of it!

This week, Dale Street Art teacher, Mrs. Delaney brightened up the cafeteria by displaying drawings that highlight emotion. The student work is incredible!
Special thanks to our incredibly generous PTO. This week the remaining fourth grade classes participated in the Museum of Science Rock Detectives program. What a great hands-on learning opportunity!
The next Principal's Coffee will be held on Friday, March 8th, at 8:45 a.m. in the Dale Street School cafeteria. We will be sharing information on the placement process for the 2019-2020 school year.

Thanks to Emily in Mrs. Dowd's class for reading today's book recommendation. Emily recommended Drama by Raina Telgemeier for "someone who likes drama." Emily rated this book 5 out of 5 stars! Thanks Emily!
Always great to hear the thoughtful discussions and see what the children are reading during reader's workshop time. Below, Mrs. Scott's fourth grade class was actively involved in their workshop.

Students in Mr. Douglas' fourth grade class spent time this week learning about and creating their own line plots. Our MCPE funded whiteboard tables are the perfect work space!
Parent/teacher conferences are just around the corner. Conferences are a wonderful time to check in with your child's teacher about their academic and social/emotional growth. Conference dates are set for Thursday, March 21st and Tuesday, March 26th. Both days are half days for the students with dismissal at 11:40 a.m.. Please note that Term II report cards will be sent home on Tuesday, March 19th.
Here’s an easy way to say "thanks" to Dale's teachers! Teachers have indicated wished-for classroom supply items on tags hanging from a “tree” in the front hallway. When you’re in the building for conferences, feel free to grab a tag or two from your child’s teacher or any of the specialist teachers to fulfill some of their wishes during the month of March!
Check this out....today, Grade 4 students used the game "Guess Who?" to practice describing people in World Language with Mrs. LeVangie. ¿Quién es quién?

There was a great turnout at today's Guidance Coffee highlighting supporting your young athlete. Special thanks to our guest speakers and all the parents who attended.
How do you sell a poem? Today in Mrs. Lowerre's fifth grade classroom students created a 'sales pitch' to sell a poem using the idea of being a realtor. Some things students highlighted in their poems were theme, rhythm, mood, alliteration, hyperbole, similes, metaphors, and stanzas. What a fun way to capture and review the characteristics of a poem!
Let's Keep in Touch
Have a wonderful weekend!
