Lots to Share!

We just completed our first week of school, and it feels great! We extend our thanks to all the parents who joined us for Curriculum Night. Teachers shared lots of helpful information about our educational program at Dryden. Our students greatly benefit from this strong partnership between parents and teachers.

I've also enjoyed getting into classrooms to read the story, Taking a Bath with the Dog & Other Things that Make Me Happy.  During this interactive read aloud, the students and I have been able to share connections, highlight interesting details, make predictions and express our interpretations of the life lessons this story has to offer. It is my hope that Dryden is a place where every child can experience daily the joy and wonder of reading a wide variety of enriching texts, and that all of our students carry this love of reading with them throughout their entire lives.
