May 20, 2022 - Week 35

 Hello Dale Street Families,

What a fun and fast week!  As your children probably reported...MCAS sessions have come to an end.  Once again, I was so impressed with the hard work, effort, and determination our students put in to their MCAS performance! Our grade 4 students had 2 days of testing and our grade 5 students had four days of testing.  Students really took their time and put in the effort! We will have make-up sessions next week for students who have missed one or more sessions. Although MCAS gets a lot of publicity, please take a minute to check out all the amazing things students and staff were involved in.  

Today, Dale Street held another POP (Parents on the Playground).  Today's activity... chalk mosaic art on the pavement.  Huge thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Consilvio (Simon's parents) who facilitated today's POP.  If you are interested in volunteering, please click here.





Last Friday, the PTO Kids' Night Out returned!  It was such a fun and exciting night for our #beproudbedale 4th graders. Special thanks to all of the parents who volunteered.  I am excited to visit Grade 5's night tonight.   



During this week's SEL (Social Emotional Learning) lesson, Mrs. Flynn's class worked on a lesson titled 'Stand up to bullies.' Students rewrote negative bullying experiences and turned them around so they had positive outcomes.  Students showed great kindness and empathy!

In Spanish this week with Mrs. LeVangie, Mrs. Flynn's fourth-grade students collaborated with classmates to interview each other about their living spaces -  ¿Qué hay en tu casa? 



On Monday, students in Ms. Plympton's grade 4 classroom tackled some challenging math problems - no problem for these OPE rockstars they used a teamwork approach.  




So happy to share that our nurses received the Above & Beyond award and   
Grade 5 teacher, Bethany Sager received the Robert C. Maguire Global Perspectives in Education award at Tuesday night's MCPE Annual Meeting.  Congratulations to these amazing educators and individuals! 


Dale Street staff work tirelessly every day to make meaningful connections.  Here is Grade 5 teacher, Ms. Burnham doing just that.  


On Wednesday, Dale Street held a Parent Information Night for our incoming fourth-grade parents.  It was so great to meet families and share the wonderful things that happen at Dale Street. Special thanks to the teachers who stayed late to present and our rockstar students who came back to present. 


 Mrs. Tumbleson and the Grade 4 flute players had a lot of fun this week! There is always so much laughter, joy, and great playing in their lessons. Keep up the great work!

Special thanks to the students in Ms. Sager's fifth-grade students for helping assemble the PTO-purchased seats for the teachers' room.  Very talented and very helpful!
