Terrific Teamwork

The spirit of teamwork and helping one another is always abundant at Dryden!
First graders helped one another carry giant pumpkins from the "pumpkin patch" to their classrooms. 

The teamwork for these second grade students resulted in this darling scarecrow!

In music class, students worked in teams to match names to notes. 

These fourth grade students showed their classmates what the process of subtraction with regrouping looks like when using base-10 blocks. 


These super scientists worked in teams to predict and test ways to make pepper grains bounce on a cup without touching the cup. 

These mathematicians are researching and calculating to determine which babysitting scenarios will enable them to earn the most money. 

These artists are working together to blend paints in order to create a realistic, three-dimensional-looking, realistic portrait of George Washington.


Our PTA, teachers and all of our students are teaming together to maintain a strong culture of kindness at Dryden. Just look at all of the random acts of kindness by our students for Just Jump and on the Kindness Tree by the 5th grade classes!

A passionate team of women from the Northern Illinois Raptor Rehabilitation Center came to Dryden to share their work and expertise about these fascinating birds of prey. This really helped bring our One Book One Dryden program with A Nest for Celeste to life!



It was a valuable, challenging and wonderful experience in teamwork to see who could build the tallest structures out of pipe cleaners with our Japanese student friends from Futabakai. 


This past Friday, staff from the Dunton Administration Center came to Dryden for Make a Difference Day. We appreciated their help and collaborative team spirit in the classroom and in the lunchroom! 

TEAMWORK sure makes Dryden TERRIFIC!
