🍩✨ DEWAR DONUT MATH! ✨🍩

Mrs. Larson, our student teacher, put her own sweet spin on our Unit 1 math review with a Dewar Donut-themed math day! Students practiced their Unit 1 math skills while enjoying a fun and memorable classroom experience.

To make the review extra special, students received a drink and donuts, along with a donut keychain and bracelet to take home! 🍩🥤💗

Mrs. Larson did a wonderful job turning math review into a “sweet” day of learning! 🍩📚✨

🧩✨ Growing and Shrinking Patterns in 4th Grade! ✨🧩

Mrs. Scott’s mathematicians kicked off our new unit with a hands-on challenge! Using pattern blocks, students created their own growing and shrinking patterns, explored how their designs changed, and put their mathematical thinking to work.

We love seeing our students get creative, collaborate, and discover math in action! 💙❤️

🎲🏠 MONOPOLY MATH! 🏠🎲

Mrs. Crews’ 4th grade math class put their skills to the test with a fun Monopoly-themed math review!

Students solved math challenges and entered their answers into a digital mystery reveal. With every correct answer, they got one step closer to revealing the mystery picture!

It was a fun way to review important skills, build confidence, and get ready to show what they know on their upcoming math assessment. 🎩🎲💰

Do not pass GO without showing your math work! 😉

Wellness Wednesdays are off to a great start at Dewar!

Every Wednesday afternoon, our staff is invited to stick around for a little time to recharge together. Whether it’s learning and playing mahjong in the Media Center, walking the track, or playing pickleball in the gym, there’s something for everyone. 🀄️🏓

We spend our days giving so much to our students, and Wellness Wednesdays are a reminder that taking a little time for ourselves and spending time together outside of the workday matters, too.

We’ve loved seeing our staff join in so far and hope even more will come hang out with us next Wednesday!

💪 One of the best things about Dewar is the way our Viking family shows up for one another!

Last night, Mrs. Robinson performed her recital at VSU, and several members of her Dewar family were there to cheer her on — including some of her fellow teachers and even a sweet student who arrived with flowers in hand. 💐🎶

Of course, Mrs. Robinson says she’d like to think she made Mozart proud. 😊 But what she really wanted to share was her gratitude for the people who took time out of their evening to be there.

At Dewar, support doesn’t stop when the school day ends. We celebrate each other, encourage each other, and show up for each other — and that’s something worth sharing.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support Mrs. Robinson! ❤️🎵

🎨 Dot Day + a little technology magic!

Dr. Miller’s students started by creating their own artwork on a Dot Day coloring page. Then, they used Quiver to bring their creations to life in 3D!

Dr. Miller snapped a picture of each one, took them into Canva and then created a poster showcasing each student’s artwork in its own frame.

And LOOK how awesome it turned out! 😍

We love seeing teachers find creative ways to combine student artwork, technology, and a little AI magic. Every dot is different, and together they made something pretty amazing! 🎨✨

🎲🏠 Math Monopoly in Mrs. Scott’s Class! 🏠🎲

Our 4th grade mathematicians teamed up to review their place value skills in a fun Monopoly-themed room transformation! Students worked together to solve problems, sharpen their math skills, and practice explaining their thinking as they moved through different review stations.

From identifying place values to comparing numbers and rounding, our students were busy making mathematical moves and learning from one another. We love seeing our Vikings collaborate, problem-solve, and turn math review into an exciting adventure! ❤️🤍💙

A big thank you to our amazing 4th grade students for bringing their teamwork and enthusiasm to the classroom!

🌽🍿 From Corn to Composition! 🍿🌽

For the past three weeks, Mrs. Lopez’s and Mrs. Cooper’s students have been learning all about corn production while putting their reading, writing, and technology skills to work!

Students researched and read informational texts about how corn is grown and produced, then used what they learned to write an expository essay. Next, they took their writing to the next level by creating their own infographics in Canva and audio recording their essays directly into their designs! 🎙️💻📚

After all that hard work, it was finally time to PUBLISH! 🎉 Students shared their finished infographics and essays while enjoying a well-earned Popcorn Publishing Party! 🍿

We loved watching our students take their learning from research ➡️ writing ➡️ designing ➡️ recording ➡️ publishing! 🌟

Who knew learning about corn could be this a-maize-ing?! 🌽😉

Earth science sure is sweet! Using graham crackers and frosting, 5th grade students modeled how Earth’s tectonic plates move and interact to create some of our planet’s most amazing landforms—including mountains and volcanoes! 🌋🏔️They pushed, pulled, collided, and observed as their “plates” showed us that Earth’s surface is constantly changing! 🌎🔬
