Week of April 8-12

WEEKLY NEWS
This week our final two 3rd grade classes visited the Bernhard Museum. They came back tired with many highlights to share!

Our Village Meeting was this week. In our Villages we discussed Habit #6: All in This Together.    Students discussed activities that are easier to do in a team vs. alone.  We came up with a large list that ranged from sports like basketball, soccer, baseball to building structures in our classroom and solving math problems.  We discussed how much better we are together when we help and lift others up.

Our 5th grade students experienced another highlight of 5th grade this week - the sheep heart dissection! Students were highly engaged in this activity and were guided through the various parts of the heart and their functions. It was an amazing hands on learning experience for our students.

Check out our Diamond Creek Student News that is filmed and produced by our Student News Leadership Group!

Updates from our week at Diamond Creek  Thank you to all of our parents for taking time to meet with your child's teacher this week.  Our teachers appreciate this face to face meeting time with you.  We are all a team working together to help each child at Diamond Creek be successful and your support is such an important piece of the puzzle.  Thank you for your time and support! On Tuesday, we were lucky enough to have our local Fire Department visit us and lead us through a fire safety assembly.  The students learned what to do in the case of a fire and were able to see the transformation that happens when our firefighters put on all of their gear.  On Wednesday, we had a building wide "READING DRILL".  We all stopped, dropped and read! It was a delight to see students throughout our whole building reading for 15 minutes all together.  I had so many students afterwards tell me they wished it was longer and ask if we could do that everyday!

  9/9/2022   Happy Friday Trailblazer families,   We completed our LEAD Passport adventure today.  Your children have now traveled to all 7 of our common areas to learn what it looks like to be great Listeners, be Empathetic, be Accountable and how to be Disciplined. Due to the smoke, we had them meet in their Village Meeting Spot and the presenters traveled to the students. These passports should have gone home with them today.  It would be wonderful to have them step into the role of being the teacher and share with you what they learned about each area’s expectations.     DC NEWS IS BACK Our Student Leadership under the direction of Ms. Triplett and Mrs. Lopez is back in action.  One of the projects they work on is our DC News.  Click HERE to see this week’s broadcast!     SPIRIT WEEK-GETTING READY FOR OUR WALK-A-THON We have a great week of school spirit ahead culminating with our Walk-a-thon on Friday, September 16t...
