Day 2 of Dater School’s Week of Respect was all about peace, love, and respect! ☮️💗 Our students and staff brought the theme to life by wearing tie-dye and bright, colorful outfits. 🌈 Throughout the day, students showed respect by listening to their teachers, following directions, using kind and polite words, and taking care of our classrooms and school. We loved seeing our Dater students demonstrate that respect isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we show through our words, actions, and choices every day! ✌️💖

Students in 5Gesualdo used the Engineer Design Process...Creative thinking filled the room as they took on their challenge!

We are so lucky to have her leading our school and inspiring us each day! Wishing Mrs. Glebocki a very happy birthday! We hope her day is as special as she is! 🥳🎂 Go RAMS!!! 🐏

Dater 5th graders are learning to be social scientists! What do Geographers, Historians, Archaeologists, and Sociologists learn about people from the things they leave behind? What stories do they tell? Curiosity at work!! 🧠

Think Dater students are the only ones learning during the day? Think again! 📚✨ After the school day ends, Dater teachers become students, too! Our teachers spent time collaborating, learning from one another, and strengthening their teaching practices through professional learning. Because great teachers never stop learning! 🍎💡

The desks are washed, the adorable student letters 📝 are out, and the teachers are ready (especially thanks to the wonderful breakfast 🍳🥞purchased by the PTO this morning!). Dater can't wait to welcome our teaching partners, the amazing Dater families, into our classrooms tonight! Doors open at 6:45. See you then! 😀

Wishing our students, staff, and families who observe Yom Kippur a meaningful day of reflection and a easy fast. 💙

Fifth graders in Dater School's Art room looked closely at the shape of their shoes, examining the curved lines, laces and little details before drawing a single line. By turning something familiar into art, our students discover that careful observation can reveal a different perspective in what we see everyday. 👟🧑‍🎨👩‍🎨

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! 🌟
