What a fun week it has been! Dooley 2nd grade students put on a wonderful SEL concert. Their songs focused on being responsible, mindfulness, and positivity. The audience couldn’t help but smile! We also enjoyed seeing our 5th and 6th graders at Addams Junior High School for their orchestra concert. Students worked hard preparing their pieces.
On Tuesday, Dooley Club Unify students had the opportunity to cheer on the Windy City Bulls players before the game. It was fun to see many families at this District 54 Takeover supporting the Crisis Fund.
This week we would like to highlight Mrs. Bach. Mrs. Bach supports students in small group literacy and math instruction. We hope you enjoy reading about the things her students have been learning. Mrs. Bach’s Highlight
