We celebrated 100th Day of School!  We are definitely 100 days smarter!

At the beginning of 2023, the fifth graders chose to do the 'One Word' challenge The idea behind the one word is “to overcome distractions and bring more focus, purpose, commitment, and success” in the coming year. Instead of creating resolutions and goals, students choose one word that will be their guiding force for the year.  It was a lot of fun to learn about and reflect on what word would best describe what they wanted for the coming year.

Congratulations to the Dragons of the Week for January 23-27! 

Mr. Bradford (our District Math Specialist) and Ms. Wilson team-taught a math lesson on place value.  We love the support we receive from our District Specialists!

Students in Ms. Shaffer's ESSER class achieved several reading goals and were able to ring the bell in the office.  This new addition to the office allows us to celebrate success as a community of learners!

We celebrated the Chinese Lunar New Year on Friday, January 20th!  Students shared red, ornate envelopes with one another.  The color red symbolizes energy and good luck!  This is the year of the Rabbit.  DLI students taught our traditional students to say, "Happy New Year" (xin nian quai le) or '年年有余，岁岁平安'， which means "May you always get more than you wish for and may you start safe and sound all year round", in Mandarin.  Many students and teachers also wore traditional Chinese dress.  Happy Chinese New Year!

Congratulations to the Dragons of the Week for January 17-20!
