Celebrating with Creativity and Curiosity

We celebrated the 100th Day of School on February 14th! We have learned so much up to this point! 

Some students showed their creativity by dressing up according to what they think they will look like when they are 100 years old.


We thank the PTA for such fun and creative Valentine's Day celebrations. 

Some students participated in theValentine's Day Box Challenge. It was so interesting to see all the different designs made with similar materials. 



Students expressed caring and kindness in creative ways, too. 
Some students wrote caring messages to one another on a wall poster. 

Others made their own Valentines to give to their classmates. 

We are also so grateful to our PTA for bringing Face to Face Productions to Dryden Elementary School. All of our students enjoyed a musical theater production of "By the Numbers". 

This highly entertaining and engaging performance helped our students learn about Einstein and the relevance of math in all aspects of our lives. We are proud of our student volunteers!

Our fifth grade students celebrated the culmination of their fifth grade space exploration unit with an interactive Skype presentation by Astronomer Dr. Beasley. We thank Assistant Principal Mrs. Beane and Advanced Learning Facilitator Mrs. Wasik for coordinating this fascinating opportunity. 

Our classrooms celebrated World Read Aloud Day on February 16. Students enjoyed reading with each other, 

being guest readers in other classrooms, 

and having guest readers visit classrooms to share their favorite books. 

We participate in World Read Aloud Day with other schools in 100's of countries to celebrate the power of words, imagination and storytelling!
