From 7th grade literacy teacher Mrs. Cotten:
This week in Literacy we’ve been working on Analyzing Folktales and Humor. My 3rd period Honors class acted out the folktale “Two Legs or One” retold by Josepha Sherman. They did an amazing job and had fun learning about folktales!
Reminder of the Spirit Days for Homecoming Week next week.
Reminder that school picture day is tomorrow, September 28. Information on how to pay online can be found in the picture below. Students also came home with envelopes if you would prefer to send the money when their picture is made.
Math can be fun! Our math teachers are teaching units of Geometry, and they are working on helping make connections. In 6th grade, students worked with pattern dice to make geometrical shapes and patterns. In 8th grade, students took lines that measure 180 degrees and had to make triangles (which also have angles that measure 180 degrees).
The students were challenged, but they enjoyed the hands-on activities.
Here's a look at the activities planned for Homecoming Week: October 3-7.
Picture day is September 28 here at DMS. Students went home with picture order forms on Friday. If you'd like, you can prepay online, and the information is detailed in the picture below.

Anyone in our DMS Family missing a toddler shoe? We are assuming it fell out of a car when a student was being dropped off. Please claim in the office if it belongs to you.
