Break time interrupted, but never their commitment ✔️ 😊. Our K teachers jumped right into action, even on their break, to model exactly what we expect from our students. Calm, safe, and all present! Proof that at DDMES, we don’t just teach expectations… we model them. 🚒 💙

Mrs. Ariza’s kindergarten class has been hard at work bringing learning to life! 🌿🐾
As part of their study on living and nonliving things, each student researched an animal and created a detailed habitat. This was a fully student-led and collaborative project, and we are so proud of the ownership, creativity, and effort our students demonstrated throughout the process.
Students also had the opportunity to present their habitats not only to their classmates, but to visiting classes as well; building confidence in speaking and sharing their learning. 🦔🐸🐒🐼
