So much FUN was had at the Annual Math Literacy & Math Carnival
Games, balloons, prizes, and smiling faces stretched as far as the eye could see, and the yummy smell of popcorn filled the air as the annual Morse School Math and Literacy Carnival rolled into town on Thursday, March 22nd! This year, over 188 children “stepped right up” and enjoyed an evening filled with exciting math and literacy fun for the whole family. The night kicked off with check-in in the main lobby at 6PM, where, by the end of the evening, close to 130 families had received their raffle tickets, game checklist, and carnival map. Read on >>

5th Graders at the Morse are learning to be media literate. Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media in a variety forms. Students are working in teams to make their own commercials and Public Service Announcements to practice the media production process. Stay tuned for news about the annual 5th Grade Red Carpet event that will take place this Spring to celebrate their work!
Grade 5 Instrumental Students Share with Mrs. Connelly’s JK Class
Room B8 was so excited to have three 5th grade visitors come to our classroom--including two former B8 students!
These talented students taught the JK kids all about the instruments they are learning in Instrumental class, and played a few songs for us! We were so glad that these 5th graders had a chance to show off their skills--and get the Junior Kindergarteners excited about some of the instruments they will get the chance to try when they get a little older!
