Amazing week here at #beproudbedale! Please scroll through to see some of the great things that happened this week and take a look at some important reminders.
Dale Street fourth graders had a wonderful time on their field trip to the Museum of Science this week. Thanks to all of the parents who took time to chaperone.
A letter was sent out yesterday offering parents the opportunity to share information about their son/daughter for next year’s placement at Dale Street. The information that you share will be used to assist me with the student placement process for the 2017 – 2018 school year. When corresponding about placement, parents are asked to focus on the type of learning environment that best meets the strengths and needs of their child. Please know that throughout the placement process our focus will be on placing your child in a classroom in which they will grow both academically and socially.
Congratulations to this week's Positive Referral recipients. These students were recognized by staff members in the building for demonstrating great character! We are proud of you!
Monday is Red Sox spirit Day at Dale Street! Please wear your Red Sox attire or red, white, and blue. If your allegiance is with another team, feel free to come to school with that team's attire.
Dale Street students attended an interactive assembly on Tuesday. Urban Improv visited our school and provided improvisational theater to teach conflict resolution. Special thanks to MCPE for funding this great, educational experience!
Grade 4 Online MCAS Trial Run
Grade 4 Online MCAS Trial Run
This week our Grade 4 students took a practice MCAS test in the online platform that they will be using for the actual test in April and May. This exercise gave our students and staff an opportunity to become more familiar with the test format and the online tools associated with this year's MCAS. Below is a link to a tutorial that students can use to continue to practice using these online tools. All of our 4th grade students have completed the tutorial with their classroom teacher. Once you follow the link, click on the TestNav 8 Tutorial. The tutorial is self-paced with explanations of the tools and opportunities to try the tools. Our 5th grade students will continue to take the paper-based MCAS tests this year.

| A big thanks to Nicky in Ms. Isaacson's class for reading today's book recommendation. Nicky gave Dog Finds Lost Dolphins by Elizabeth Carney 6 stars because "There are rats that sniff out land minds." Great job, Nicky! Students in Ms. Bertschmann's fifth grade class took time this week to work with volume and line plots. These young learners used the program prodigy to gain a deeper understanding of these topics. |
