Dobson Elementary

Mrs. Coe's class has spent some time learning and talking about our lungs. Students were then given the opportunity to blow up balloons! How fun! 🎈

Happy TA Appreciation Day! These folks take on many responsibilities and tasks each day to be sure that students are being served in the best way possible.

We want our students to fall in love with a good book! Have a fabulous week! Good night!

5th grade students learned about the respiratory system and, more specifically, how our lungs are responsible for getting oxygen to our bodies through inhalation and exhalation. They then built a model to gain a better understanding of the concept. Great work! 🤩

Our "Tinkering Tigers" robotics team has been working very hard in preparation for the competition ahead! Go, tigers, go! 🐯

3rd grade students explored with Play-Doh to better understand fractions! What a fun way to learn!

Next week is "Start with Hello" Week! It is going to be all about meeting new people, making new friends, and making everyone feel welcome and safe at DES. Below, you will see the themes for each day!

Bus Riders of the Month: Ragnar Gosselin Carolina Hernandez Villicana Melanie Vega Talia Gearheart Melanie McMillian Carlos Menera-Rojas These tigers enjoyed popsicles and time at the park with Mrs. Queen for showing leadership on the bus and following expectations! 🚍🤩

This morning, students AND staff participated in "D.E.A.R." time. This meant that everyone dropped what they were doing, grabbed a book, and started reading for 20 minutes. Not only does this encourage our tigers to associate positivity with literature and the act of reading, but also to make it a priority for themselves. Great job, tigers! 🧡 #ThriveSCS #DEAR
