Dale Street Blog: November 15, 2024

Hello Dale Street Communities

On behalf of the Dale Street staff, thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in teacher conferences this week. We believe the home-school partnership is paramount for student success and these discussions are important opportunities to help improve a child’s achievement and happiness, inside and outside the classroom. Please note that Term 1 closes on November 25th. Report cards will be issued on December 8th and include information from classroom teachers and specialists.

This week was School Psychologist Week. Please join me in thanking Dale Street's amazing School Psychologist, Mrs. Strekalovsky for the wonderful work she does each day.

This week there was lots of 4th-grade student engagement playing “charadas” with Senora LeVangie during World Language. Students did great practicing with what they do in their school subjects

Math Challenge is designed to give elementary students opportunities to sharpen their mathematical problem-solving skills at home. There will be sets of challenges posted every other week throughout the school year.

Throughout the challenges, the program covers problem-solving strategies such as drawing a picture or model, making an organized list, looking for a pattern, working backward, and guessing and checking.

More information, including a calendar of important dates and a link to download and print the challenges and solutions, is available here. Any questions regarding the math challenge program can be directed to Dale Street math specialist, Ms. Perachi.

The first Challenge is due on 11/20
