DAWE SCHOOL'S COMMUNITY READING DAY: The Dawe Elementary School held their 5th Annual Community Reading Day last Friday. Principal David Barner said, “We started it with our school council five years ago. We wanted to do something different to increase interest in reading, and to involve the community in the education process.” The Dawe School had a broad spectrum of readers, who also handled some of the questions from the classes. I had the honor of reading Holly Robinson Peete’s book about autism for Mrs. Whoriskey’s third grade class. What a great group of children, who asked excellent questions, about diversity, newspapers--but, mostly about my dog, Harry. Readers included: Former Dawe School principals Joseph Dawe, Jr. and Dr. …

Last week (April 2-5) the Dawe Elementary School had a Math Boot Camp, experiencing Math across the curriculum through a series of engaging lessons, activities and games.
Dawe School students in Stoughton went through a Math Boot Camp last week, with the culminating activity taking place last Thursday morning when all classes from kindergarten through fifth grade circled the building to determine its perimeter, using themselves as a nonstandard unit of measure. Braving the cold weather, the students counted off, making their way around what became a large, continuous chain of students. It took 345 Dawe students to circle the perimeter of the rectangular-shaped school. The various classes had to estimate how many students it would take to complete this task and explain how they came up with their estimate. Mrs. Murphy's fourth grade class won the challenge, estimating it would take 338 students. The fourth…
