Over the last two weeks, Mrs. Lopez and Mrs. Figarola’s ELA classes delved into a novel, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. Through the exploration of characters, setting, plot, and themes we connected with Sadako's story of hope and resilience after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
To deepen our understanding, we made origami cranes together. Each crane symbolized our solidarity with Sadako and her message of perseverance in the face of adversity. Sadako's story reminded us that even in difficult times, hope and compassion can bring us together and make a positive difference in the world.
5th grade's "Blue Ribbon Bluau" was a huge success! Students enjoyed cotton candy, soccer, volleyball, hula hooping, karaoke, and more to celebrate all their hard work this year! Thank you to our parent volunteers and 5th grade teachers for setting the "Bluau" up for these well-deserved kids!

Students in Mrs. Taylor’s first grade class have been been creating research projects during Dewar Digital Days. Students chose an animal, researched their animal on PebbleGo, created an opinion writing piece about the animal, and created a Google slide to present and showcase what they learned. To tie it all together, students presented their research to the class. It has been a great week!
Ms. Barfield’s class has worked hard to create, collaborate, and curate to re-create their own version of the story, The Three Javelinas they read earlier this week.
