DMS Students had fun on the first day of Spirit Week by wearing their PJ's to school. Can't wait to see what these students come up with to show their Dragon Pride for the rest of the week.
Here are some dates that you might want to put on your calendar for the month of October:
Last week was an awesome week to be a Dragon! From Cross Country meets where our students set new personal best times to football games where we cheered for the home team! Go Dragons!
Just a reminder of the Homecoming Spirit Week activities:
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.
DMS School Families: Here's a look at the upcoming spirit days for the rest of our football season. We hope that if you are planning things on your schedule, you can add these events to the list. We will post again closer to the dates of exact times and locations. Go Dragons!
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.
DMS Families:
Interim Progress Reports go home today, Friday, September 16 with students. Please review your child's progress, and feel free to email teachers if you have questions. A list of our staff emails can be found on our website: www.dewittdragons.net. Have a good weekend.
GO DRAGONS!!
Reminder: Lots going on here at DMS today, Thursday, September 15. Pep Rally at 12:35 in the DHS Gym, Early Dismissal 2:10 for car riders & 2:15 for bus riders, & 7th grade & JR football vs. Helena here at Dragon Stadium at 5:30 & 7:00 p.m. respectively.
Teachers are lifetime learners. Today, some of our teachers worked with our PLC consultant, Aisha Thomas, on how to create assessments for our students based upon the essential skills we ensure our kids will know. It was so fun to see our “lightbulbs” come on as we learned new strategies to keep our focus on students and their learning.
Update on our friend, Daniel Gordon:
After waiting over a year in the hospital, Daniel was able to have his heart transplant last month and is scheduled to come home. His family wanted anyone who wants to welcome him home to know. Please see the picture below about the details of a welcome home parade.
Don’t forget this upcoming Thursday, Sept. 15:
-Pep Rally @12:35 in the DHS Gym
-Early Dismissal: 2:10 car riders & 2:15 bus riders
Look at our Jr. Cross Country runners representing us strong today!! What a great day to be a Dragon!!
A message from Mrs. Holly Erwin, DMS Literacy & Social Studies Teacher:
Students really enjoyed diving into our Vocabulary Surge curriculum today. Thank you, DeWitt School District, for investing in fun hands on learning!
