Greetings Dale Street Nation!

We hope that you had a wonderful week. We sure did!

Please enjoy this week's blog.

As a reminder, there will be no school on Monday, January 18th in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. School will resume on Tuesday, January 19th. See you then!

Congratulations and amazing job to the 4th and 5th grade chorus! On Tuesday, these students performed at the high school for their families and guests. Their performance was fantastic! Thank you to Ms. Oxholm for her outstanding leadership with the Dale Street chorus.

Mrs. Bars' class spent time this week using iPads to support their learning of division with decimals. What a great way to go deeper and gain a conceptual understanding of this concept.
