In honor of Mr. Jeff Dagg, DCS Instructional Coach, who is retiring, Mrs. Finn and Mrs. Haidl painted our storm drains to remind us to take care of the Great Lakes Watershed.
4th grade classes met with members of the Dexter City Council over Zoom to present their tree research. They studied the health of the trees in Peace Park.
To share their place-based learning experiences at Mill Creek Park, some students from the Barnes/Kohler/Hanlon team composed and recorded this song with the one-and-only Joe Reilly! Enjoy!
Home-based Kβs are finding joy exploring their identities as scientists by making observations about pumpkins with their senses, asking questions, and supporting their claims with evidence. Excited to see where they go next! @timmischris @ryanbruderk2 @CraigMcCalla24
