2nd Graders are "RADIANT"
in Charlotte's Web
The Morse School 2nd graders read Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White, a book identified as an exemplar text by Cambridge Public Schools. Students used a variety of skills and strategies while reading this text including: identifying a character’s problem or challenge, predicting a character’s actions, inferring traits based on textual evidence, identifying how characters change over time and using evidence to support their reasoning.

Fun had by All at the Annual Morse
Math & Literacy Carnival Night!
Written by: Denise Sullivan, Morse Family Liaison
On Wednesday, March 30, 2016 many, many, many Morse Families came to play some really fun Math & Literacy games, including a scavenger hunt and have a chance at winning some really cool prizes! No worries, those that did not win a prize in the raffle did leave with a fun goodie bag at the conclusion of the event. What would a Math & Literacy Carnival article be with the numbers? Here is the breakdown: Approximately 95 families attended. Children: 131 Morse students and younger siblings. Adults: 117 Parent/Guardians + 19 Staff. 18 pizzas were consumed for dinner, thanks to the Friends of Morse.

Morse School is Learning about Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling
Submitted By: Nadege Sterling,
Morse School Special Educator
A1 and B6 students, as have the rest of the Morse School community, learned this month about a new bin installed in the cafeteria for Composting. All of the Morse School teachers and students will now "feed the worms" in addition to the sorting they have been doing for years.
The black bin is for trash, the white bin for liquids, the blue bin for empty and clean containers, the styrofoam for trays and bowls and now the new yellow bin for all food and dirty paper.
Through a special introduction by Meryl Brott, students learned in more detail what their cafeteria responsibilities entailed and embarked on their new adventure on Wednesday April 13th. Feedback from students has been positive: they are excited to feed the worms and protect the Earth!
