    Now let's make her the "DonorNation School Volunteer of the Year

     

    We have nominated Dede Quint , our choral teacher,  for the DonorNation School Volunteer of the Year Award in recognition of her valuable service to our school. Should Dede win this Award, not only will she win valuable prizes, but our school will win $5000

    To help ensure that Dede Quint, and our school, wins this important Award, we need your help. Please go to 

    http://www.SchoolVolunteerAward.org

    and cast your vote for:

    Dede Quint at George Dewey Elementary School

    It should only take you a couple of minutes to vote, but it would mean a lot to Dede, and of course our school could use the $5000 too.

  • Dede Quint is named Volunteer of the Year!

    Dede Quint is 91 years old and a product of San Diego Unified as a student, then teacher, and now retired volunteer. She has been volunteering at Dewey Elementary for 27 years, bringing the gift of music to second and fourth graders, playing the piano and leading the students in chorus. Without her dedicated support, Dewey would not have a choral program. She never misses a day and has been a member of the Dewey family and an incredible asset to our students for a very long time

  • Dewey's Action Based Learning Lab

    Posted by Carol Benesch at 1/12/2013
    "The Action Based Learning™ Lab is a motor development program based on the brain research that supports how movement improves brain function. The concepts in the ABL Lab meet the Physical Education National Standards and the Action Academic Content Cards meet the National Standards in reading and math. Although the underlying concepts remain constant, the program’s design is flexible and is modified or adapted to meet the needs of every student. "

    "Brain science strongly supports the link of movement to learning. The brain and body’s movement and learning systems are interdependent and interactive. For example, motor development provides the framework that the brain uses to sequence the patterns needed for academic concepts. The body’s vestibular system controls balance and spatial awareness and facilitates the students ability to place words and letters on a page. When a student walks or crawls on the "ABC Pathways" mat in specific patterns, the brain’s ability to encode symbols is increased. The four visuals fields needed for eye tracking is strengthened. Proper development and remediation of these systems are critical to a childs’ ability to learn."
