🎀 Link Up for a Cause! 🎀

From October 6–17, Mrs. Simon is selling paper chain links for just 25¢ each!

✨ Half of the proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and the other half will help fund student supplies here at DLR!

🍕 The top 3 homerooms that sell the most links will earn a PIZZA PARTY!

Let’s join together, one link at a time, to make a difference! 💗

🎉🍎 This week we’re celebrating Georgia’s Pre-K Week!

Our Pre-K students are building a strong foundation for learning through exploration, play, and discovery. We are proud to recognize the importance of early childhood education and the incredible impact it has on a child’s future success.

A huge thank you to our Pre-K teachers, Mrs. Eubank, Ms. Bateson, and the DLRES staff for the love, care, and dedication you pour into our youngest learners each day. Check back later to learn about our Pre-K paraprofessionals! We look forward to sharing with you the educational activities our young tigers experienced this week.💛

🍪✨ Sweet learning in action! ✨🍪 Last week, Ms. Dawson’s 1st grade class read Who Put Their Hands in the Cookie Jar? and discovered how the ingredients for sugar cookies are made. To celebrate, these young readers wrapped up their week by baking (and enjoying!) their very own sugar cookies! 🐯📚 #WeAreDLR #SweetLearning #TigerReaders

Third Grade Pen Pals! 💌

Mrs. Tipton's and Ms. Mills' ELA classes finished up their reading of Dear Primos and Dear Dragon with a wonderful pen pal exchange! Our students wrote friendly letters to one another, practicing common and proper nouns and making sure their tricky commas were in all the right places. They celebrated their hard work and shared their letters over pumpkin cookies and juice. What a sweet way to end the module! 📝🍪

📚🐯 Yesterday, our 1st and 2nd graders had a very special visitor! Dr. Morris from First District RESA and Let’s Read, Georgia! joined us as part of the Fall 2025 Reading Campaign: “Ready, Set, Read!” 🎉

She modeled high-impact interactive read-alouds with the book “Hey, Little Ant.” This experience not only gave our students the chance to enjoy a read-aloud that was rich, responsive, and rigorous, but it also served as an incredible professional learning opportunity for our teachers. 💡👩‍🏫

We’re so thankful to Dr. Morris, First District RESA, and Let’s Read, Georgia! for sparking excitement and inspiring a love of reading at DLR! 💙
