The Weekly Jr. Oiler
November 3, 2017
Dwyer's Halloween was the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread!
Jr. Oilers had such a fun day on Halloween! Not only were students allowed to dress up, but tons of themed learning took place that day. Many of our 6th graders dressed up as idioms and their classmates had to guess what they were. One of our Science classes learned about properties of matter by doing spooky dry ice experiments. Other Core classes had students write about Halloween history, inquire and discuss about theories of Edgar Allen Poe's death, and even re-write the endings to some scary stories!
The PE Department got into the spirit by dressing up as the Village People and teaching all 1,370 students line dances throughout the day. What a great way to build school and team spirit! Your child may even have been "hashtagged" by the Human Hashtag, Mrs. Glembocki! It was certainly a great day full of fun and learning!

Staff Development
On November 1, students had no school so that teachers and staff could attend professional development throughout the day. During the morning sessions, staff had opportunities to attend things like CPR certification, STEM Studio, Technology and Assessments using the new Core adoption, and many more. The afternoon session was a site specific time for meeting. The Dwyer Team had a short staff meeting followed by some team bonding time. We have some pretty good bowlers among us!!
States of Matter
Students in Mr. Perry and Miss Hovenden's class learned about what happens when you add dry ice to different liquids.
Stepping It Up!
Is that Principal Glembocki in a hamster ball? Students and staff had a great time at the Step It Up event today! Thank you to everyone for supporting Dwyer and a special thank to the PTSA parents for volunteering to run the event today.
