Mrs. Warner’s class had a blast with their Shark Tank activity! Students researched inventors like the Wright brothers, George Washington Carver, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison and found out how life changed in America at the turn of the century due to these individuals' inventions. Students then picked one invention to create and pitched their inventions to a panel of “sharks.” This project combined reading, writing, speaking, and Social Studies standards!

Tomorrow, we will celebrate Dot Day! Students will be able to dress in dots with uniform bottoms to celebrate.

Monday, September 16, we will celebrate Dot Day at MES! Students will be able to dress in dots and uniform bottoms to celebrate.

Our canned food drive is in full swing! Remember, Thursday is "Bring Any Item" day, and Friday is "Monetary Donation" day. $1 = 4 cans. The grade level that donates the most overall will win extra recess time! Keep an eye on the latest standings by visiting our school website for the most up-to-date canned food totals. Let’s make a difference together! If you have any questions regarding the canned food drive, please contact Kristy Garner at [email protected].

Today, we honor and remember the lives lost on September 11th, now known as Patriot Day. We reflect on the courage, resilience, and unity shown on that day and the days that followed. As we teach our students about the importance of compassion, strength, and standing together, let us all be inspired to carry these values forward.

Yummy expanded form and place value practice in third grade! Students created place value charts and used Cheez-Its to represent hundreds, pretzel sticks for tens, and mini marshmallows for ones!

Don't forget, CURE bracelet sales and our canned food drive both start tomorrow!

Our first-grade students enjoyed their annual literary journey through “The Wizard of Oz” with a special Emerald City Day!
