All you need to know about DeMello...
Hello DeMello Families!
Despite the fact that we had a snow day AND an early release day this week, the teaching and learning continued at DeMello! Today, we celebrated Read Across America Day at DeMello with a teacher read aloud "swap." Classroom teachers switched rooms throughout the building to read stories to each others' students. As always, a wonderful time was had by all. Once again, a BIG thank you to Dr. Lisa Maucione and the DeMello Literacy Committee for organizing this event as well as all of our upcoming reading activities during the month of March!
Reading isn't the only thing we are celebrating this week! On Monday, our students learned that they had not only reached their schoolwide ST Math goal of completing 60,000 puzzles in February, but exceeded it by completing almost 80,000 during the month! I am happy to announce that all of their hard work will soon be rewarded with a big visit from their favorite penguin and ST Math mascot, JiJi! To add to the excitement, on Monday, March 6th, we will kick off a March MATHness "tournament." Students will set goals and engage in a friendly competition to see which classes complete the most ST Math puzzles each week between now and April vacation. I'll be sharing pictures of our March MATHness Bracket bulletin board each week as we move through the tourney!
March is promising to be an exciting month at DeMello. As always, we promise to share all the details (and pictures!) in the Backpack over the weeks to come.
We hope you enjoy the weekend and we look forward to seeing our students on Monday!
