February is off to a great start at Dooley School! Our 3rd and 4th graders are gearing up for their music concerts in March, our Kindergarteners are celebrating their 100th day of school on Wednesday and our 5th graders are working hard on their informational writing pieces. We continue to enjoy hearing about our students’ GLIMMERS each day!
Our staff highlight this week is Mrs. Tenenbaum’s Kindergarten Class. We hope you enjoy reading all about Room 100!
It certainly feels like winter outside, but Dooley school is glimmering with Happiness inside! During the month of February, our students will be writing down their GLIMMER OF THE DAY on a small note with the hopes of sharing this positive news with their family and doubling the great feelings that were experienced during the school day. We encourage you to talk with your child/children about their GLIMMER OF THE DAY. Some ideas for collecting and sharing glimmers in your home throughout the month of February include:
We can’t wait to hear about the creative ideas you come up with as a family!
Once again we are reaching out to our families and asking you to participate in the annual Illinois 5Essentials Survey to provide us with your perspective and help guide our school improvement efforts. If you do not want your child to participate, please contact your school principal by Monday, February 5. If you have children at more than one school, you must contact the principal at each school. The parent survey will be available online through March 29, at survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois. For more information, visit the District 54 website.
Our fourth, fifth, and sixth grade families received a link to the pre-recorded Reproductive System webinar on Friday, February 2nd. This link will be available through Monday, February 12th for your viewing. This will be an opportunity for parents and guardians to preview the materials presented to the students. The webinar is accompanied by a Frequently Asked Question page to support the materials our intermediate students will be receiving soon. Please feel free to reach out to our nurse, your child’s classroom teacher or me with any questions.
