May 23, 2025 - Week 35

Hello Dale Street! 

We had a wonderful week at #BeProudBeDale with a lot of learning and activities taking place! Big shout out to the students and staff as we completed all sessions of MCAS testing. I am so proud of our Rockstaf students! Please take a few minutes to look through a recap of the week and make sure to stay updated on our upcoming events. 

This morning, Dale Street held a wonderful Memorial Day assembly. The students did a remarkable job. The Pledge of Allegiance was great (thanks, Logan), and the Dale Street Chamber Orchestra played spectacularly!  Grade 5 students Thomas and Rohan recited the Gettysburg Address, Katy, Ben, Will, Max, and Mrs. Tumbleson played America the Beautiful, and Will and Mason played Taps on the trumpet. It was a great morning!

This week, fourth-grade Spanish students in Sra. Spittel’s class volunteered to catch the stuffy (un perrito—a little dog) and answered the daily question, ¿Qué tiempo hace? (What’s the weather?). ¡Llueve mucho! ☔️☔️☔️

Yesterday, some of our Grade 5 classes took a field trip to Lowell Mills. The other Grade 5 classes will attend on Wednesday, 5/28. During their trip, students had opportunities to learn about weaving on a loom, the steps of engineering, child labor laws, how assembly lines work, and the importance of water in helping make the machines run.  They also enjoyed a trolley ride, experiments, an engineering challenge, and separating the seeds from the cotton plant. Check out some of the photos...

  

Congratulations to this week's Positive Referrals!

Congratulations to Grade 4 teacher, Nicole Gutierrez! Nicole was the recipient of this year's MCPE Robert C. Maguire Global Perspectives in Education Award. We are proud of her and lucky to have her at Dale Street! 

 

Dale Street Field Day is scheduled for Wednesday, June 4th (Rain Date: Thursday, June 5th). Mrs. Nawrocki and Mrs. Laughna are planning an exciting day of activities for our 4th and 5th graders. Grade 4 will participate in Field Day during the morning (9:00 - 11:15), and Grade 5 will participate in the afternoon (12:15 - 2:30). Field Day will take place on the field between the Dale Street and Memorial Schools. Classes will have the opportunity to rotate through nine stations. Classes will rotate with their classroom. Activities will take place on the field, on the blacktop, and in the gymnasium. 

We have found it to be helpful to: 

**have students wear comfortable clothes and sneakers on this day 

**apply sunscreen before coming to school.  Please provide more sunscreen for re-application. 

**send children with a hat and extra water on this day. 

Classes will be eating bagged lunches. Students may bring their own bagged lunch or purchase a bagged lunch from the cafeteria. Note: There will be no other lunch options on this day.

As a reminder, there will be no school on Monday, May 26th, as we observe Memorial Day. On behalf of the staff, we would like to thank all of the men and women who have sacrificed for our freedom. We honor you and your bravery.

That’s all for now.  As always, reach out with any questions. Thank you for your partnership.
