What’s a Word Map? 🤔➡️📖 In Miss McCrensky’s WIN block, students teamed up in small groups to map out unfamiliar words: definitions & parts of speech from the dictionary, synonyms & antonyms from the thesaurus. 🔍✨ Critical thinking + problem solving + teamwork = vocabulary that sticks.

We love hearing from our families! 💙 Read what one parent has to say about their experience at DCES"

"From kindergarten to fifth grade, we're now coming full circle in our journey at Desert Canyon Elementary. Jeremy has grown tremendously at this school, receiving teacher encouragement to explore his scientific curiosity and through the Mandarin specials understanding what it means to be a global citizen. Participating in the school band has introduced him not just to playing music but to the growth mindset of putting in the work to improve over time. We truly have an extraordinary community here at DCES, with Jeremy making many friendships over the years. I couldn't have asked for a better school for the elementary years."
