Dale Street Blog: January 19, 2018

Greetings Dale Street,

On Friday, students in Mrs. Lowerre's fifth grade class participated in a project-based learning activity. Students used self-created menus and various math strategies to create a 'guest check' complete with tax and tip. Great job!

Positive Referral!!!

These students received Positive Referrals this week for being respectful, helpful, and overall positive school citizens. Great work!

Congratulations to Mrs. Evans, Mr. Ruggiero, Mrs. Stover and our 4th and 5th grade Orchestras for an amazing concert last night. The students played beautifully!

Bravo to our fantastic musicians!

Thanks to Lily in Ms. MacDonald's class for reading today's book recommendation. Lily recommended The Baby-Sitters Club: Kristy's Great Idea by Ann M. Martin because "this book has very creative ideas and it's full of excitement. It's about a creative girl that makes a big idea with her friend." Lily rated this book 5 stars! Thanks Lily!

Students at Dale Street School are about to begin a Box Top competition. The competition will begin on Monday, January 22nd and will run until Friday, February 16th. The classroom that collects the most box tops during that time will win their choice of either an extra recess (when the weather gets a little warmer) or an extra classroom time in makerspace. Each classroom will have a box where students can drop their Box Tops. We are hoping for a large turnout for this fun, spirited competition. We hope that you will choose to participate.

Check out the picture below to see the direct evidence of the Box Tops and their financial reward towards our school.

In Ms. LeVangie's World Language class this week, students in Ms. Sager's fifth grade class worked together using Spanish clues to solve family tree mysteries. #collaboration
