WOW! Spectacular week here at #beproudbedale! Take a peek.....
I'm sure that many of you have been watching the Olympics over the past week. Very exciting for sure! Just as exciting for me was watching our fourth grade students and staff participate in an integrated Olympic week here at Dale Street. Students took time this week to read about the history of the Olympics, learn more about South Korea (the location of this year's Winter Olympics, collaborated in a STEM (science, technology, engineering, & math) bobsled activity, and participated in a curling (measurement) activity. Fourth grade students and staff definitely earned a Gold Medal this week!
On Thursday, students in Ms. Condon's fifth grade class took time to 'explore' some of their WWII topics and traveled to ancient Mayan and Aztec ruins as well as Outer Space and various National Parks! So cool! Thanks MCPE for funding this amazing opportunity for our students and staff!

On Monday evening, members of the Dale Street SWAT (Students Working to Advance Technology) were invited to the School Committee meeting to present on the staff faculty meeting the students facilitated last month. These young learners did a phenomenal job!
On a visit to Miss Isaacson's forth grade classroom on Thursday, students worked on persuasive essays. Students worked on writing pieces that tried to convince readers with reasons and evidence. And look who also took time to visit...Director of Finance and Operations, Mr. LaFrancesca.

| Thanks to Maren in Mrs. Flynn's class for reading today's book recommendation. Maren recommended Dork Diaries by Rachel Renee Russel for "people who like realistic fiction books" because "it talks about real life problems and it's full of fun and suspense." Maren rated this book 5 stars! Thanks Maren! |
On Tuesday, Mrs. Foley's class demonstrated 2 of Dale Street's Core Values, collaboration and continuous growth while teaching Ms. DiPesa's fourth grade class how to make ePortfolios with GoogleSites. Bravo!
