It's been another busy week here at the Dale Street! Elementary Math Night was very well attended on Wednesday night and it was great to see so many people in attendance. Thank you to all the parents and staff members who carved out some time in their schedules to join us. Elementary Math Night information from this evening will be posted on the district/school website within the next few days.
Students in Ms. Bertschmann's class played the role of teacher for their peers as they reviewed decimals this week. What talented students!
Mr. Douglas's class (with Mrs. Fromen assisting) participated in a Mystery Skype with Ms. Daley and her fifth grade class from Plainfield, NH. These classrooms arranged to call each other on Skype with the goal of guessing the location of the other classroom by asking strategic questions. It was a fun way to learn about geography and practice map skills. Each student had a specific job to perform in this collaboration. Good job, girls and boys!
Special thanks to the parents who came out to one of the two math insert meetings on Wednesday, December 3rd. If you did not have a chance to attend the meeting, you can view the parent guide here.
Thank you to all of the students and families who created cards for the soldiers. They are phenomenal! These cards and inspirational messages will surely bring cheer to our soldiers this year!
On a visit to Mrs. Nawrocki's PE class today, Mrs. Flynn's students were working collaboratively to problem solve a way to get from "Pearl Harbor" to "Japan" Great teamwork everyone!

THANK YOU FUND - Are you looking for a way to thank
your child’s teacher? Make a contribution to their THANK YOU FUND! Anyone may contribute a financial
gift to any teacher’s THANK YOU FUND. The teacher can use these funds to
purchase books, games, supplies and other things for their classroom as
needed. This is a great way to give your child’s teacher a little extra
something that will benefit both the teacher and the children in their
class. This is particularly useful for “specials” teachers that do not
receive classroom gifts. This is all you need to do to
contribute to a teacher’s THANK YOU FUND:
· Write a check payable to DALE STREET PTO with a
note in the memo line designating which teacher’s fund you are contributing to
· Send the check to school in an envelope with your child and
include Nancy Thomson’s name on the envelope
· You can also mail the check directly to Nancy Thomson 52 Cypress
Street
· You will be given a note that your child can give to their
teacher letting them know you contributed to their fund or a note can be sent
on your behalf
Contact the Dale Street Treasurer, Nancy
Thomson nancyandgreg@comcast.net with any
questions.
