Dewar Elementary School

Mrs. King’s class had a fun Friday celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day! 🍎🍏 We made “apple pie in a cup” and wrote the steps to practice sequencing. We also taste-tested red, green, and yellow apples and created a picture graph with our results. The students had the BEST time today!

Ms. Holmes' class read "How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World" and made apple pie in a cup to celebrate Johnny Appleseed Day.

Congratulations to our September Viking students of the month from each homeroom! These students enjoyed a delicious McDonald's lunch courtesy of McDonald's on Bemiss Hwy! Thank you, McDonald's, for providing this wonderful treat for our students!

Our 5th grade students have been diving deep into the new curriculum, Benchmark Advance. They have been studying natural resources, and the focus was all about one of the most important crops in the world: corn! From learning how it’s grown and harvested to understanding its many uses in our daily lives, our students are gaining a true appreciation for the role natural resources play in our communities and environment.

And what better way to bring learning to life than through FOOD? 🤤

💛🌽 A HUGE, heartfelt shoutout to Ambrosia and Chef G of Creole Sol for going above and beyond. They cooked and delivered delicious corn for every single 5th grade class and their teachers! Your generosity and support made this lesson unforgettable and gave our students a meaningful (and tasty!) connection to their learning.

Thank you for pouring love into every bite and for being such a special part of our school community. 🌟

Thank you so much to Virginia Atkinson from Salt & Light Consignments for coming to read to our students, bringing them treats, and making a generous donation to our CPIE account!

Mrs. Lambert’s and Mrs. Niuman’s Kindergarten class read "When Grandma Gives You a Lemon Tree" and made lemonade!

This year’s theme at Dewar is “Adventure Awaits,” and our 5th-grade students are taking that literally! They kicked off Social Studies by traveling around the room to explore key historical sites like the Chisholm Trail, Kitty Hawk, Chicago, Montgomery, and Philadelphia. From cattle drives to civil rights, they’re gearing up for an exciting journey through American history!

Special thanks to our wonderful administrators for providing a special treat plus door to door delivery! What a fantastic Friday!

Ms. Swopes’ second graders celebrated International Dot Day on Monday by reading The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds and discovering that even a tiny dot can spark BIG creativity! Students turned simple dots into amazing art — from flowers to people and everything in between! Dot Day reminds us to be brave, make our mark, and let our imagination shine!

Students in Mrs. Godwin’s classes were so focused when doing this Social Studies activity. They labeled the 6 major rivers with different colored M&Ms, and used marshmallows and mini chocolate chips to label 2 of the mountain ranges we have learned about. It’s always fun to eat the food when finished too!

🧩 Dr. Hicks' second-grade gifted students have been learning about logic puzzles!
They read clues and marked a logic grid with X = no and O = yes to narrow choices until the answer clicked. For the finale, they designed original logic puzzles in Canva and then swapped to solve their classmates’ creations—so much creativity and problem-solving on display!

Mrs. King’s first grade class had fun learning about picture graphs!
Students used Skittles to create their own graphs, answered questions about the data, and wrapped up the lesson by enjoying their sweet treats! 📊🍬
