Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Trina's Kindergarten class have their eyes on the prize by wearing their special reading glasses. These magical glasses turned these kindergarteners into super readers.

Our Girls on the Run team absolutely crushed their practice 5K! 🌟 Their determination, grit, and big smiles all the way through made the whole evening feel electric. Having parents and teachers lining the route, cheering them on, and even running with them, meant the world to the girls — your support lifted their spirits and pushed them to keep going.

We’re so excited for the 5K this Saturday at 8:00 AM at the courthouse. We can’t wait to see the girls shine!

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming!

Mrs. Niewoonder's class began learning about shapes! After learning the attributes of 2-dimensional shapes, students used Play-Doh to create shapes and review the number of sides and vertices of each shape.

Mrs. Morris and Mrs.Trina's Kindergarten class enjoyed a trip to Fifth Day Farms! Students had the opportunity to experience a pumpkin patch, a bounce house, and farm animals!

The Fall Festival is almost here!

Congratulations to our October Teacher of the Month: Alyssa Roberts “Ms. Roberts has been a bright ray of sunshine this year, and I absolutely love working alongside her. She works hard to make learning fun and engaging for her students. Her students love going to her class, but even more they love sharing all of the fun songs, dances, and other things she has taught them to help their learning become permanent. Her positive attitude shines and rubs off on those around her. Even as a first year teacher, she has already stepped out of her classroom and participates in Student Council and the PBIS team. Dewar is so blessed to have her!” Congratulations to our October Staff Member of the Month: Ansley Nijem “Ansley is a dedicated paraprofessional who works hard every day, consistently giving her best to support students and staff. She approaches every task with a positive attitude and never complains, making her a valued and dependable member of the team.”

Students in Ms. Swopes’ second-grade class turned heart word practice into a fun game! Each desk had a whiteboard and a marker on it. When the music played, they danced around the room — but when it stopped, they raced to a board and wrote the heart word as many times as they could before Ms. Swopes called out the magic word… “Cinnamon!” Then, everyone held up their boards proudly and called out their word together. It was the perfect way to fit in some extra practice!

Congratulations to the winners and the nominees of the Book Character Contest!! All nominees received a Blow Pop, and the winners also received a $10 gift certificate to the November Scholastic Book Fair! Everyone did an outstanding job participating and did a great job on their costumes. Thanks to everyone at Dewar who participated!!

Dewar Fall Festival and Raffle!!

Parents stepped back into the classroom and became scientists for the day during 5th Grade Parent Day! 🔬 They got a glimpse of the exciting learning happening in our science classrooms and even took part in an experiment to observe signs of a chemical change. From bubbling reactions to lively discussions, it was a wonderful reminder that the joy of learning is a lifelong journey - no matter your age, there's always something new to discover. 🌟🔍
