Smile!

 Walking through Dryden, you will always find reasons to smile!

We had Picture Day this week! We appreciated the PTA's help in capturing our students' smiling faces. What special memories this will be when we look back through these photos in our school yearbooks.

It made me smile to hear the "wow's" of wonder and excitement from our kindergarten students in art class this week! Art Teacher Mrs. Fuglestad taught them how to use the Quiver app to bring their color wheels to life by making them look three-dimensional and animated. 

 

Of course, any child immersed in a book makes me smile! This student was so excited about the book she got from the LMC, she could not wait to take it home and read it!

We smile when we are learning and having fun at the same time! I loved the laughter, discussion and analysis from this group of students as they compared cards with numbers written in different forms while playing a fun game of spoons. 

This sign made by one of our students made me smile. Not only are our students learning important skills, strategies and content, they are learning important life lessons. 

This recent, very kind and thoughtful gift from a student brings a huge smile to my face every time I look at it! It is incredibly rewarding to see our students enjoying their total school experience - learning academics while strengthening relationships with pride and a sense of belonging!!
