This week, Grade 4 classes had a fantastic time being geologists. Special thanks to our amazingly supportive PTO for funding the Discovery Museum visits this week!
Thank you to Jean Paul for doing our book review this week. Jean Paul read This Book of Mine by Sarah Stewart. This book inspired him because, 'There's the title I didn't love, but when I read it, it was so good. It also inspired me because they are telling the truth to their grandma.' Thanks, Jean Paul!
In Ms. Bertschmann's fifth grade class this week, students played the role of teacher. Students worked in groups to present review material to their fellow classmates. The students were so creative and took pride in being great teachers!
Congratulations to Grade 4 teacher, Mrs. Scott and her family on the arrival of their second child, Griffin Michael!
Check out the PTO update with information about volunteer opportunities, fundraisers and more.
In the Makerspace with Mrs. Lowerre this week, Grade 5 students brainstormed a variety of creative ways to design and build sturdy, stable structures. Very cool!
Students have the opportunity to sign up to be a Dale Street Chromebook Captain. Students learned about this school job yesterday during their lunchtime. Interested students should complete this application and hand it in to the office by Friday, November 22, 2019.

| Ms. Sager's fifth grade students did some great, collaborative planning getting ready to film Episode 2 of their Global Giving video. Pennies for a Purpose Final Tally Grade 5 pulled off a win by the narrowest of margins in our game's history! A mere 467 points separated Grade 4 and Grade 5. 467 points is the equivalent of $4.67! Sincere gratitude goes to all those that contributed. In total, our Pennies for a Purpose/Silver Sabotage game brought in $1,344.25 for our friends in Zimbabwe. |
