🌟 Mrs. Ruiz's Kindergarten class is busy exploring the wonderful world of reading during centers time! Our little learners are identifying letters, matching them to their sounds, and diving into exciting stories. So proud of their curiosity and growth! 📚✨ #KindergartenLife #ReadingCenters #LearningIsFun

🍎 Today, our dedicated teachers are received specialized training from the Arizona Department of Education focused on boosting classroom engagement. It's inspiring to see our educators continuously learning new strategies to make learning more interactive and meaningful for our students.

🖊️ So excited! Ms. Frasier's class just sent their very first letters to their pen pals in North Dakota! The students were buzzing with anticipation as they shared stories about their lives here and asked dozens of questions about what it's like living up north. Can't wait to see the friendships that bloom from this exchange! 💌 #PenPals #LearningConnections

🎓 Professional Development Day at Dreaming Summit Elementary! 🎓

Our incredible teaching team spent today diving deep into what matters most - supporting our students! We explored powerful instructional strategies, learned cutting-edge technology integration skills, focused on meaningful goal setting, and strengthened our universal supports to meet every learner's needs.

But the best part? We're truly "Sharpening the Saw" by taking care of ourselves too! 🐶💕 A special visit from some adorable therapy puppies reminded us that recharging and finding joy is essential to being our best selves for our students.
When teachers invest in their growth and well-being, our students benefit immensely. Today was all about building our toolkit, collaborating as a team, and remembering why we love what we do.

Ready to bring fresh energy, new strategies, and renewed passion back to our classrooms! Our Dreaming Summit students are in for an amazing year! ✨

Kindergarten Color Weeks
Help our Kindergartens learn their Colors!

Last week, Ms. Van Asdall's (2nd Grade) and Ms. Bass' (5th Grade) classes took on the ultimate rescue mission - Save Fred!
Our amazing students put on their engineering hats and worked together to save Fred the gummy worm who was "trapped" under his overturned boat (cup) with his life preserver (life saver candy) just out of reach. The challenge? They could only use paper clips as tools!
Watching these young problem-solvers collaborate, think critically, and persist through trial and error was absolutely incredible. Some groups figured out creative ways to flip the boat, while others found ingenious methods to get Fred his life preserver. The excitement and "aha!" moments were priceless!
Way to go, future engineers and scientists!

Superheroes in Action at Dreaming Summit this week.

August 10th was Snoopy's Birthday! Ms. Van Asdall's class wishes Snoopy the happiest of Birthdays!
