Hello Dunning Community!
We hope that you had another nice long weekend. Despite the high temperatures and humidity over the past few weeks, staff and students have been been busy focusing on establishing routines and building relationships. Building a sense of community in classrooms, as well as school-wide, are key for a successful school year. It is our goal to create an environment where students feel valued and connected to all staff, and to one another.
We will be kicking off Community Meetings with the Panda Pride Fun Run rally on September 18th. Community Meetings help us to maintain a sense of community at Dunning, as well as providing a forum for celebrating learning throughout the year. Grade levels take turns leading each month. Community Meetings also provide an opportunity for students to learn how to be a respectful audience, as well as build self-confidence in public speaking.
In case you missed the pictures on Facebook, we celebrated our summer learning on Friday with the dunk tank. In addition to both of us getting dunked, Ms. Star (kindergarten), Mr. Otero (grade 1), Ms Brennan (grade 5), and Mr. Greenhouse (PE), were also dunked. While it was a little bit cooler than we might have liked, it was still a lot of fun!!
Wew look forward to seeing you at our curriculum nights on Thursday, September 20th (grades 3-5) and Thursday, September 27th (Grades K-2) 6:30 - 7:45 pm.
Have a great week!
Ms. Schecter & Mrs. Mulkerin
