The Dewar chickens are free at last! With the help of the Colquitt Bright Ideas grant and a little bit of elbow grease, our team of student helpers known as the “chicken tenders” installed a temporary barrier to give our chickens extra freedom to roam. Our first “free-range Friday” was a success! The chickens feasted on some fresh vegetation and stretched their legs while our students got up close and personal with our lovely hens. Dewar has over 60 third through fifth grade students signed up to help tend to our flock during our after school chicken tending club, and we are so egg-cited to share free-range Fridays with all Dewar students!

It's Youth Art Month!
Mrs. Webster’s class used their TouchChat app during a writing lesson to share what they would buy if they stole the leprechaun’s pot of gold. This activity gave each student the opportunity to engage and interact in the lesson using an AAC device to communicate.
Ms. Holmes 1st grade class has officially written and illustrated a book titled, "When I Grow Up: My Dream Job Adventures." Big thanks to Skylar Newton from Mrs. Miller's class for doing such a great job illustrating the cover of our book. They worked hard, and I am beyond proud of them! This was a real team effort, and they did a great job of combining their creativity and collaboration skills.
Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Trina’s Kindergarten class celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with fun ELA, phonics, and math activities. They also read about how to catch a Leprechaun!
