To celebrate World Read Aloud Day, Ms. Swopes’ second graders invited Mrs. Lopez’s fifth graders to join us for a special read-aloud experience. Each fifth grader was paired with a second grader, and the pair chose a book to enjoy together. The fifth graders read aloud while the second graders listened with wide-open ears and big smiles! Afterward, students wrote about and illustrated their favorite part of the story. To wrap up our fun reading session, everyone enjoyed a delicious snack together. Thank you to our amazing fifth graders for being such wonderful reading role models and for helping us celebrate the joy of reading. We loved sharing this special day with you!

Dewar Elementary wants to give a huge shout-out and thank you to Hester and Morris Orthodontics for their generous donation of lanyards to our school. We appreciate you!
Ms Swopes’ second graders wrapped up their recent unit with an engaging Reader’s Theatre experience. Throughout the unit, students learned about point of view, setting, major events, dialogue, and characters. Last week, some students were assigned speaking roles to practice, while others contributed in different ways. On Monday, the class brought the story to life by performing for their classmates. Students without speaking parts actively participated by adding paper “ingredients” to a pot, helping show how each character’s contribution made the soup come together. Although the pot wasn’t real, the teamwork and learning definitely were! The activity highlighted cooperation, creativity, and the idea that everyone plays an important role.
Congratulations to the January Teacher of the Month, Mrs. Stephanie Burnham, and Staff Member of the Month, Mrs. Lindsey Niuman! We are so proud of each of you!

🍕🧀 This Learning Was Extra Cheesy — in the Best Way! 🧀🍕
Fourth graders at Dewar Elementary had a wheel-y great time during our Fractions Pizza Room Transformation Day!
Students reviewed important fraction skills to get ready for their upcoming assessment, all while solving pizza-themed problems, working together, and showing off some seriously sharp math thinking. From halves to wholes, they proved they can handle every slice that comes their way!
These students truly rose to the occasion and gave it everything they had. We’re so proud of their hard work and positive attitudes. Math like this is always a big dill… wait, wrong topping 😉🍕

5th-grade students wrapped up their ELA government unit with a Constitution Celebration! 🇺🇸 They explored how the Constitution was created, learned about amendments, voting rights, and civil rights, and brought their learning to life through a Readers’ Theater. Students also completed hands-on tasks that challenged them to interpret the Preamble and analyze the significance of voting rights in a democracy.
