The Chicago area has seen its share of snow and freezing temperatures over the past few days, but there are so many wonderful ways we are experiencing "warmth" this winter!
We shared our appreciation for Mr. Poteracki, our awesome crossing guard, on National Crossing Guard Appreciation Day! Rain, snow, sleet or shine, we can count on Mr. Poteracki to greet us with a warm and friendly smile every day!
The PTA Dryden Dolphin Book Clubs are under way! Thanks to PTA volunteers, students can stay inside during recess to read and talk about some great books. This year's books focus on the theme of kindness.
Fourth grade students have been busy creating a Native American museum to show how different tribes lived in different regions of the United States long ago. It's interesting to think about the shelter, tools, clothing and food they had to survive in this kind of weather hundreds of years ago!
In art class, these second grade students have been creating Picasso portraits with wood and paint. The vivid colors and patterns brighten our days during the frigid winter.
Students found all kinds of meaningful ways to spend Global School Play Day in the classroom! By observing children as they play, we are so impressed to see the ways they plan, persist, collaborate, problem-solve, imagine, innovate, role-play, invent, share and make decisions. This helps us think of ways we can make our work and learning feel more like "play"!
