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!







Students in 4O'Rourke are already beginning to prepare for next year's TED Talks. This sneak preview is designed to spark curiosity, encourage deeper thinking, and provide students with meaningful ideas to reflect on over the summer as they get ready for the exciting challenges of fifth grade.


5Gesualdo/Thomson & 5Modesto/Azouri did great work on their science projects which tied into their year long, hands on investigation of composting and its benefits. Thank you to the RPEF for helping to make this possible.







The talent show was so much fun to watch! Congratulations to the brave, confident, and talented students who got up on stage and performed!



5Wissell enjoyed our class trip to the New Weis Center!





Our 5th graders recently visited Smith Middle School to learn more about the school culture, explore classes, and get a glimpse of what middle school will be like. Students had the opportunity to meet staff, tour the building, and ask questions about the exciting opportunities that await them. The visit helped ease any nerves and make the transition to middle school feel more familiar and comfortable. Everyone had a great time and left even more excited to begin their journey at Smith this September!






The 5th grade field trip to the New Weis Center brought exploration, creativity, problem solving and curiosity to our students. 5Jezequel loved the stream exploration!







Mrs. Lawleyโs 5th Grade Book Club had an amazing field trip to Wandell Elementary School! Students shared lunch, discussed their book in mixed groups with Dater and Wandell students, enjoyed recess together, toured the school, and were treated to an incredible final dress rehearsal of High School Musical Jr. ๐ญ๐
The day was filled with meaningful conversations, new connections, and growing friendships that will make the transition to Smith Middle School even more exciting in just a few short months. Weโre so grateful to our Wandell hosts for such a welcoming and memorable experience!










Students in 5Gesualdo/Thomson helped display their homeroom's posters promoting positive behaviors during recess.

Our school safety drill was a tremendous success, and students did an outstanding job following procedures with maturity and focus. Staff members were exceptionally prepared and worked together seamlessly to ensure all students were transported efficiently from Dater to Smith in a timely manner. Thank you to the Ramsey Police Department for their partnership and support in helping make the drill run safely and smoothly, and for helping us strengthen our preparedness as a school community. ๐ฆบ๐๐๐ผ




Students from 5Johnstone had an amazing day out in the sun last week on their field trip! One of the best parts of our field trip was exploring the stream as we searched for creatures to test the water quality and learn about our local ecosystem. What a fantastic way to connect with nature! ๐ธโ๏ธ




Mrs. Lawleyโs 5th grade lunch/recess club has been having a blast using the Chompsaw to design, build, and create together! Through hands-on creativity and problem solving, students are strengthening critical thinking skills, learning perseverance, and discovering new ways to turn ideas into reality. Teamwork has been a huge part of the experience as students collaborate, encourage one another, and combine their strengths to tackle exciting projects together.





5Modesto/Azouri had an amazing time at Field Day on Tuesday! We enjoyed all the activities and loved working together as a team. Some of our favorite events were the water balloon toss, capture the flag, and pickleball. It was such a fun and memorable day! โ๏ธ๐

The Dater Olympics are officially underway! In just four short weeks, one homeroom will earn the crown of 2025โ2026 Dater Olympics Champions, and todayโs opening ceremony kicked off the excitement as we discussed sportsmanship, teamwork, and celebrating everyoneโs unique strengths. ๐๐ฅ The first competitive event, Dice Race ๐ฒ, is already in the books, and several homerooms have jumped onto the scoreboard by earning gold, silver, and bronze medals in our very first challenge! Stay tuned for upcoming events!








Yesterdayโs 5th Grade Field Day was full of sunshine, teamwork, and lots of laughsโespecially during the water relays! Students showed great sportsmanship and energy throughout the day while making wonderful memories together, and we are so grateful to our parent volunteers for helping make the event run so smoothly. A huge thank you to Mr. C for organizing such a fantastic day and to DJs Mr. Quinlan and Ben for keeping the fun going all day long!
