January 28, 2022 - Week 21

Hello Dale Street,

Wow, was there a lot of awesomeness packed into this cold, last week of January!  Take a few minutes to scroll through and check out some of the scenes..... 

Over the past few weeks, Dale Street 5th graders have been working with Health teacher, Ms. Laughna on nicotine awareness projects, Students are researching, learning, and creating videos!  Can't wait to see the final products! 

 






On Friday, February 4th Dale Street will have an Olympic Spirit Day.  Students and staff are encouraged to dress as an athlete or in gear from their favorite country.  Patriotic apparel...sports uniforms, t-shirts, and everything in between.
Please see our updated COVID Guidelines and COVID dashboard 
 Look for an email for our next Covid Vaccine Clinic at Dale on Wednesday 2/9


On a visit to Ms. Hayes' fourth-grade classroom on Wednesday, students were involved in great brainstorming, both independently & collaboratively, during their science lesson. Students drafted blueprints and tested their ideas.  Great work, young learners!

This week, grade 5 students participated in live presentations focused on water conservation and stormwater.  These presentations are put on by the Neponset River Watershed Association and funded by the Town of Medfield.  



Positive Sign Thursday!

'WE ARE BRAVE!' 



Valentine's Day is fast approaching....very exciting!  In an effort to ensure safety for all of our students and staff, we are requesting that no food/candy be sent in with Valentine's cards. On Monday, February 14th, students will enjoy a “Party in a Bag!” Have your child decorate a brown paper lunch bag in a Valentine’s theme. Once decorated, fill it with a few of your child’s favorite food items. Some examples are: juice box or mini water bottle, small salty snack, fun sweet snack (cupcake, cookie), additional items could be a piece of fruit, a small yogurt, or any additional healthy snack.  Adding a little note to your child's bag will definitely make them happy!  Head Room Parents will be coordinating games/crafts for this day.  The snack time and Valentine's themed activities will take place at different times depending on students’ schedules and will be overseen by classroom teachers.  

This week in Ms. DiPesa's fourth-grade class students were super engaged - connecting signposts to their Greek mythology book.  Great work! Special thanks to our very generous PTO for funding these fantastic book sets for the entire 4th grade. Students and teachers love them! 

Hi parents and students at Dale Street School! 

Julie Letai, a fellow Medfielder and former Dale Street student, is an Olympic Speed Skater and will be participating in the Winter Olympics on February 9th and 13th! 

If you would like to send along a note, video, or photo of encouragement, please upload it on this Padlet.  Feel free to do family or group messages as well. And, don’t forget your red, white, and blue, or even a photo in front of a Medfield landmark. This is a great activity to do during the snowstorm this weekend!

Today, students in Mrs. Nee's and Mrs. Chamblin's grade 5 classes turned the Dale Street cafeteria into a Stem classroom.  Students worked collaboratively to figure out how to create a crate that could float their teabag. Great integration into their social studies lesson!   


Students and staff are invited to participate in the Dale Street School March Madness Free Throw Shooting Contest.  The contest begins Tuesday, March 1st. Click here for more information.  Registration deadline is Friday, February 11th.         

Bravo to Ms. Johnson's and Ms. McKenzie's classes for facilitating today’s SEL assembly. Students shared their research and staff interviews to highlight the importance of resilience. What an important characteristic!  Phenomenal job, everyone!     

As always, thank you for reading.  Stay safe, enjoy the snow and have a great weekend!
