Mrs. Pierce's third grade class enjoyed playing "Trashketball" with three-digit addition and subtraction.
In this game, students were paired up and given a math problem. The first to finish the problem correctly had the opportunity to "shoot" for their team! #funwithmath #smallschoolbigheart
We are excited about learning at Dwight! Today Mrs. Malin gave out tickets all day long to students who "got caught" being committed to their learning today. At the end of the day, 5 of the tickets were drawn and these lucky winners get to have lunch with the principal tomorrow! #ForwardRSD #smallschoolbigheart

Take a look at these Dwight students adding sticky notes to our "Good Things" bulletin board in the hallway! This board is for all students and staff to share positive moments in their life.
At Dwight, we are focusing on setting a positive tone for our school. Each morning, classrooms designate time for students to share "good things". This teaches students the important skill of positive thinking! #smallschoolbigheart #capturingkidshearts #forwardRSD
