In honor of Election Day, Dawe School first graders learned about the voting process and took part in a mock election by setting up a polling location with voting booths in school. They even received "I voted" stickers! Students learned why it is important to voice their opinion by voting and how they can help their community by getting out and voting. Students also learned about when people vote and how they have to go to a polling location and cast a ballot. All of the first grade classes at the Dawe earned a compliment party and were voting on a movie to watch for the compliment party. "Monsters, Inc.", "A Bug's Life", and "101 Dalmatians" were on the ballot, and in a landslide victory, "Monsters, Inc." won! "Monsters, Inc." teaches about friendship and being open to new ideas and having a growth mindset (all part of our SEL curriculum)!
Here are pictures from the assembly at the Dawe School where principal Mr. Cancellieri kissed a pig to celebrate the Dawe surpassing its fundraising goal for the recent fun run event! The assembly started with Mr. C. reading the book "Our Principal Promised to Kiss A Pig". Then Mr. C. fed a cracker and gave a kiss to Prosciutto, a pig from Alpine Acre farm in Stoughton!
Here are some pictures of students arriving at the Dawe Elementary School for the first day of school! Superintendent of Schools Dr. Baeta and Assistant Superintendent Mr. Ford joined Dawe Principal Mr. Cancellieri in greeting students and families.

Here is a sampling of the many great things going on in the Dawe School art studio! Kindergarten self portraits, observational stuffed animal drawings (using pastels) in first grade, and lots of painting/sculptures/hot glue creations sprinkled throughout!
“The Whalemobile” visited the Dawe School! The Whalemobile is a life-sized inflatable whale named Nile, modeled after a real humpback whale that can be seen off the coast of Massachusetts. The inflatable whale was set up in the Dawe School gymnasium, with classes visiting it throughout the 2-day visit. Students could even go inside the inflatable structure to get a look at what a whale’s interior would look like! Students enjoyed getting up close to Nile, going inside, and learning about whales during their time with the Whalemobile.
Students at the Dawe School are enjoying working with fiber in art class! They are learning skills like how to thread a needle and tie a knot, how to create a running and whipstitch, and various weaving techniques.
