Check out our cute patch of little pumpkins 🎃 Our Pre-K adventure at the pumpkin patch was a blast! Exploring, picking pumpkins, and making memories together! 🍂✨ #FieldTripFun #PumpkinPatch #LittleAdventurers
Ms. Erin Schultz is in her 2nd year of teaching and both years have been here at DES! She is a natural-born teacher. To see her in action you would never know that she has only been teaching for just over a year. She has a great rapport with her students. Although she is still in LETRS training(Vol. 2) and working with a new ELA curriculum in year 2 of her career she demonstrates extreme proficiency in phonics instruction and routines. Erin has also stepped up to take on leadership roles like serving on our Guiding Coalition and organizing our Veterans Day program. Being a new teacher in today's world of education is more challenging than ever but she makes it look so easy. We are so glad that Erin chose to be a Dolphin and we hope she continues to be a dolphin for many, many years.
A lot is happening next week here at DES! We thought it would be easier for you to go to one post to discover everything happening. Please see below for all the upcoming events!
