Cooking for Creative Learning
Cookbooks are flying on the shelves at Dike Newell! Cooking encourages creativity and problem solving as well as fine motor skills. Cooking builds basic math skills, plus reading recipes helps to build vocabulary. Students become more self directed and self confident. It's also a great way to get picky eaters to try something new, not to mention a fun family activity!
Students are encouraged to check out a cookbook and try a recipe at home. Anyone who would like to take a picture with their culinary creation is encouraged to send the picture in to Ms. Hardman, who will share it with classes to encourage other aspiring chefs.
Library STEAM Club
First and second grade students will be participating in Library STEAM Club this year. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art and math. For the first session we are using Bee-Bot robots to work on technology and math skills as well as Legos for engineering. Science and art activities will be included in future sessions.

INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE
A PIRATE DAY
Friday, September 19, 2025
This holiday was originally created by John Baur and Mark Summers. The idea came to them when one of them got hurt during a racquetball game and yelled out "Arrrr!" They decided it would be funny to make a whole day where people talked like pirates, but they figured no one would really want to celebrate this holiday. Columnist Dave Berry wrote an article about it and the day became famous! Now a lot of people celebrate the day because it's fun and silly.
On Friday, September 19th, dress in your best pirate gear and come to school prepared for a swashbuckling good time!
