Math is so fun, especially when it involves yummy candy! Mrs Traci’s 1st grade class began by making a “Picture Graph” to show their candy choices. They used the same data to complete a “Tally Table” and “Bar Graph.” They used their math vocabulary- compare, greatest and least to answer questions about the graphs..

DES 5th Grade has been learning about Weather and the Water Cycle in science class. One portion of the unit was to research how to build a homemade water filter, design a filter, choose a design to build in teams, and work together to build them. Students then poured dirty water through their filters. Later, they will compare the results and discuss how they might redesign their filter to make improvements.

Parents and Guardians: As always the District will be monitoring the weather tomorrow (4/13/22) in order to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We will be ready to implement our severe weather procedures and transition students to our tornado safe rooms if necessary.
