Happy 2019! It's great to see everyone back at school after the long winter break! And it's great to see that 2019 is off to a great start at Dryden!
Our fifth grade band was back at school bright and early on Monday morning. Their music brought a joyful energy as we started our first day back to school.
Many of our students spent time thinking and writing about goals and resolutions for 2019. I love how students in this class talked about a goal of writing "bravely".
Here is an example of brave writing! I love how this student volunteered to share her writing with her peers and ask for feedback. Her peers shared "glows and grows", and now this student is planning to revise and edit her writing to make it even better!
Morning circle times are a wonderful way for our students and teachers to connect with one another, strengthen their relationships and build a caring classroom community. It felt so good to see our students reuniting in this forum!
These banners were a fun surprise to see as we entered the commons for lunch! We thank the PTA for helping us to purchase these beautiful banners. The banners contain the lyrics to our school song, written by our music teacher, Mr. Deptula.
It was exciting to see the students so motivated to jump right into their learning. This student impressed me with his research comparing the Aztec and Mayan cultures.
These students were so engaged in their research of the ancient Aztec calendar and number system!
Gymnastics equipment has arrived at Dryden! It's great to see our students exercising and building their strength and coordination!
Our third grade students are learning some great techniques to make their drawings look three-dimensional. It's impressive to see their attention to precision and detail with their lines and patterns.
2019 is off to a great start for us at Dryden! We can't wait to see what wonderful learning is in store for us in the days to come!
