Hello Dale Street Families,
Thank you for taking a minute to check in this week. It was another awesome week here at #beproudbedale. Take a look...
Congratulations to this week's Positive Referrals! Thank you for making Dale Street such a great place!
On Thursday, Dale Street hosted a breakfast in honor of Medfield's First Responders. This idea was a brainstorm of the Student Council at our May meeting. Thank you to all of the Dale Street students who took the time to create a card for Medfield Police Officers and Medfield Firefighters, our terrific kitchen staff for providing refreshments, and our honorees for working so hard to keep us safe. It was a wonderful morning!
Dale Street Field Day is scheduled for Thursday, June 10th (Rain Day, Friday, June 11th). Mrs. Nawrocki and Mrs. Laughna are planning an exciting day of activities for our 4th and 5th graders. Grade 4 will participate in Field Day during the morning (9:15 - 11:30) and Grade 5 will participate in the afternoon (12:20 - 2:35). Field Day will take place on the field between the Dale Street and Memorial Schools. Classes will have the opportunity to rotate through nine stations. Classes will rotate with their classroom. All activities will take place on the field and on the blacktop.
We have found it to be helpful to:
**have students wear comfortable clothes and sneakers on this day
**apply sunscreen before coming to school. Please provide more sunscreen for re-application.
**send children with a hat and extra water on this day.
Classes will be eating bagged lunches. Students may bring their own bagged lunch or purchase a bagged lunch from the cafeteria. Note: There will be no other lunch options on this day.
So proud of Alex, in Ms. Plympton's fourth-grade class, for sharing his independent study project this week. Students loved seeing his creative way of showing what he learned through a demonstration and breakout room. Way to go, Alex!
Dale Street School's Reading Specialists, Mrs. Bassett and Mrs. Callahan have been working with small groups of students to practice reading skills through a project called “Stones for the Soul.”
Students have been collaborating to create a theme for a book they have collectively read. They are writing and decorating their message on a series of beach stones, using outdoor paint. The messages are inspirational life lessons that will uplift your soul.
Be on the lookout for our “Stones for the Soul” at some of the local businesses and community locations around Medfield! You are sure to enjoy their messages and beauty!
On Tuesday, students in Mrs. Ross' and Mrs. Seaver's fifth-grade class participated in a really cool chemical reactions experiment. Students enjoyed this hands-on activity and it actually produced glowing results. Special thanks to the non-profit team of Ph.D. scientists (SEED-Science Engineering Education Development) and the Mass Cultural Council for funding this fantastic science grant.
Please save the dates of Thursday, June 17th and Friday, June 18th (this will be a rain date) at 9:30 a.m. for Dale Street's Grade 5 Celebration. This year, the Grade 5 Celebration will take place on the basketball court outdoors and we are hoping for dry and nice weather. Grade 5 families are welcome and we are asking that all guests bring a lawn chair for seating in an area off the pavement. The health and safety of our students, their families, and the staff continue to be our number one priority. Therefore. we are asking that there are only 2 guests per student and that you refrain from bringing children. In addition, if you are not seated more than 6 feet apart from a non-family member you are expected to wear a mask.
Check out the amazing artists we have at Dale Street! Click here to view the virtual art show.
This week Mrs. Flynn's book club created Makerspace artifacts and as you can see they are fantastic! I am so proud of their dedication and the thinking they have put into reading this year.
With the warm weather here, please send students to school with a refillable water bottle with their name on it so that they can stay hydrated throughout the day. We have a large number of unclaimed reusable water bottles in our lost and found that may belong to your child- please tell them to stop by and look if you are missing one. Putting your child's name on it will ensure that it is returned if found. Students may refill their bottles using one of our two bottle filler stations. We hope to be outdoors as much as possible for the remainder of the year so students may wish to have a hat and sunscreen moving forward as well.
