6th grade was mixing things up in science! 🐬✨ Students investigated chemical changes by combining liquid glue, food coloring, and dish soap to create their own colorful window decals! A fun, hands on way to explore science and get a little creative along the way ☺️ #Dobsonacademy #dobsonacademyk8 #ballcharterschools #chandler #arizona

Ending the week with a little hands-on science! 🐬✨ Our middle school scientists explored inertia by placing a penny on an index card over a cup and applying force to the card to see what happened to the penny. Students then used their observations to explain inertia in action A fun way to wrap up the week and put science concepts to the test! #Dobsonacademy #dobsonacademyk8 #ballcharterschools #chandler #arizona

Cooking Club is officially underway! 🐬✨ Our Dolphins kicked off their first day by decorating their very own pot holders and making a sweet (and slightly messy!) treat, dirt cups with pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms We can’t wait to see what they cook up next! 💙 #Dobsonacademy #dobsonacademyk8 #ballcharterschools #chandler #arizona

Our Pre-K Dolphins are learning all about the number 5 this week! 🐬✨ After enjoying Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, students brought the story to life during small groups by coloring their beds and using their fingerprints to create five little monkeys #Dobsonacademy #dobsonacademyk8 #ballcharterschools #chandler #arizona

Our Language Notebooks are filling up! 📓✏️ Today, one of our 3rd graders worked on building both his science knowledge AND his English language skills as we explored living things, environments, and cause & effect. 🌱🐾 Language Notebooks give students a place to build vocabulary, practice writing, and keep track of everything they’re learning along the way. We’ve already seen so much growth in his English skills, and it’s exciting to watch his confidence and vocabulary continue to grow! 🐬💙✨ #Dobsonacademy #dobsonacademyk8 #ballcharterschools #chandler #arizona

Our middle school scientists were putting their knowledge of atoms and the periodic table to work today ⚛️🧪 Using a Kagan RoundTable, students worked together as each person contributed a summary, a question and answer, and an interesting fact about what they’ve been learning🐬📝✨ RoundTable is a great way to review, collaborate, and learn from one another! #Dobsonacademy #dobsonacademyk8 #ballcharterschools #chandler #arizona

While our Dolphins enjoyed an extra day off, our teachers and staff were busy doing some learning of their own! 📚💙 Today’s Professional Development Day included training from the Arizona Department of Education on ADEL and SPARKL 🐬✨ We’re always learning, growing, and finding new ways to better support our students! #Dobsonacademy #dobsonacademyk8 #ballcharterschools #chandler #arizona

We'll take any little bit of cooler weather we can get! ☀️ Our middle school students took advantage of the slightly cooler temps and wrapped up with week with a fun game of soccer in PE 🐬✨ #Dobsonacademy #dobsonacademyk8 #ballcharterschools #chandler #arizona

Girls Flag Football Tryouts are coming! 🐬🏈 We’re getting ready for another season of Dolphins Girls Flag Football! Girls in 5th–8th grade who are interested in joining the team are encouraged to come out and give it a try, no previous flag football experience is necessary. Check out the flyer for all the tryout details. 👀📆📍⏰ 🩺 A quick note for families: We recommend getting your athlete’s sports physical completed before tryouts. This does not guarantee a spot on the team, but we have a quick turnaround between making the team and our first game. Athletes who make the team will need a current physical on file before they can play, so getting it done ahead of time can make things much easier! We can’t wait to see our girls out on the field 💙 #Dobsonacademy #dobsonacademyk8 #ballcharterschools #chandler girlsflagfootball

A little sunshine + outdoor PE = some very happy 1st graders! 🐬✨ We're all pretty excited to be spending some time outside again! #Dobsonacademy #dobsonacademyk8 #ballcharterschools #chandler #arizona
