We can’t wait to see all the creative and festive outfits!

 

Fourth grade scholars learned about plant life cycles and the harvesting process by growing various edible plants in our new AeroGarden units. The highlight of the unit was that everyone was able to enjoy a delicious salad made with the lettuce that we grew ourselves.

Ms. Lillian Lopez organized this wonderful project to spread love and comfort in our community. Scholars and staff at DVE donated socks and other comfort items, which Ms. Lopez presented to elderly men and women in nearby assisted-living facilities. The project was a great success and the recipients felt the love from DVE scholars and staff.

Scholars in Ms. Gonzales' sixth grade class used engineering and design concepts to create apps to help kindergartners and first graders practice math facts. They started by learning what their target audience needed, and ended by demonstrating their apps and getting feedback from their "clients."
