JOHN Y. DATER SCHOOL

4th grade mathematicians- The students in 4McPartland had fun using manipulatives to review place value!

Dater students put their critical-thinking skills to work in the Media Center! 🧐📖Through a fun read-aloud, students explored different scenarios involving book care and had to think carefully about the best choices to make as responsible members of our library community. They then put their knowledge to the test with a lively game of Boom, Clap, Grab! Students had a blast while applying what they learned, explaining their thinking, and making thoughtful decisions. 📚✨

Our 5th graders are learning about symbolism as part of their Historical Fiction Reading and Writing Unit. On Friday, students began learning to crochet, inspired by something that appears Again and Again—a “noticing strategy” they are learning to use as they read their class read-aloud, Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan. Well done, everyone, for rising to the challenge and trying something new! 🧶📚

Wishing our students, families, and staff who celebrate a sweet and joyful Rosh Hashanah!

May the new year bring health, happiness, and success to all. Shanah Tova! 🍎🍯

Books are flying off the shelves in the Dater Media Center! 📚❤️ Our 4th and 5th graders are so excited to get their hands back on books and dive into new stories and topics. It was especially meaningful to see so many students come in today seeking out books about 9/11, inspired by classroom lessons and eager to learn more. There’s nothing better than seeing students follow their curiosity and let books lead the way. 🇺🇸📖

Today, we remember and honor the lives lost, the heroes who responded, and the strength of our community on September 11.

We will never forget.

So much learning is happening in classrooms across Dater! 💙 During our school-wide Morning Meeting, students learned about the key characteristics of responsibility and what it looks like in action. 📚✨ Throughout the day, our students put that learning into practice by showing responsibility in their classrooms—learning it, living it, and growing together! 🌟

Wishing our entire Ramsey community a safe, relaxing, and happy Labor Day!

See you tomorrow, Rams! 💙🐑

Our 5th grade students put their creativity and problem-solving skills to work by designing original creations in Tinkercad and bringing them to life with 3D printing. They were incredibly engaged throughout the entire process, showing enthusiasm, perseverance, and innovation every step of the way. We are so proud of their hard work and the amazing designs they created!

Where will 5Davidson be in 20 years??? Hopefully all their dreams come true!
