Good Bye Teachers
Written by homeroom E7

Goodbye to ALL our teachers, now we must bid adieu, to all our lovely teachers this is our thanks to you

Pajama Day with Mr. K was a very special day

The stylish jewelry station made Mrs. Connelly’s room shimmer & shine.

Reading with buddies has never been more fun, but most of all with Ms. Allison

Ms. Bellino is sweet like her honeybees

Eating dirt was a favorite dessert in Mrs. Grunes’s room

Ms. Emily taught us about the Greek Gods, yet the best one was standing in front of us.

So many plays and gardening too, Mr. Rick’s room is the place for you

DeWitte dollars can’t buy the knowledge she gave us

Ms. Gallant’s seltzer craze will never fade as her voice booms through the Morse all day

Queen Elsa has a kingdom of math while Mr. Macomber’s minerals shine

Movies and Popcorn make Ms. Bishop’s room lit

Pass the Beat to a Sparkling new world in Ms. Jeram’s room

When it is sad outside, Ms. Leonard’s room is a cozy hideout.

Ms. Kerr is always so “Smiley”

Ms. Graeber & Mr. Piper are on point with all of their “Do, Re, Mi “

When we play, Ms. O’C will show us the right way

Ms. Lavalle’s coding day will surely blow you away

When you open a book, Ms. Pennell is there, true and good and loving and fair.

Ms. Headley told us the games to play, in her orderly and organized way

SHE wears wonderful hats, SHE’S the leader of our school, SHE’S our beloved MS. PAT

We love our teachers one and all, SORRY we couldn’t name you all

Enough of the jokes, we just came to say, goodbye and thank you for leading the way and making our brains explode every day – BOOM!

One Final Goodbye
To the 5th graders and their families, to staff not returning, to the families that will move and/or relocate this summer, the Morse School will always be a part of you. We hope that your time here has given you fond memories. We wish you well.

It's Time for SUMMER LEARNING!!!

MAKE YOUR SUMMER STORY ROCK!
Summer vacation has arrived! Our students have made great progress and engaged in so much learning this school year. Over break, we want them to continue this excellent growth and avoid the “summer slide.” To support student success, the Morse School’s Literacy and Math Leadership Teams have organized some fun, easy ways to encourage continued learning over vacation. This year, the Morse School has adopted the theme “Stories Rock! Tell Us Yours!” based on the statewide 2018 summer reading theme, “Libraries Rock!” Students will participate in a Summer Learning Kick-Off the last week of school that will encourage them to continue their learning and make their story ROCK this summer!

Over summer break, students are being asked to engage in at least 20 minutes of reading/writing and 20 minutes of math every day. We’re encouraging students to find fun and unique ways to engage in learning so they can really make their story rock this summer! Maybe they’ll practice their math facts in a tent, write a creative story with a friend, or measure out the ingredients for a delicious summer meal. The possibilities are endless, and they all lead to summer stories that ROCK!

To help with their summer learning efforts, students currently in grades K-4 will receive:
–a Math Log (to track math learning minutes)
–a Literacy Log (to tracking reading and writing minutes)
–a Morse BINGO Card (because who doesn’t love BINGO?)
–access to our “Stories Rock!” Google Classroom (for current 2nd, 3rd, & 4th graders - fun new learning websites will be posted - classroom.google.com)

FAMILIES CAN HELP!
There are a number of ways to promote summer learning at home over the break: Encourage your children to find creative ways engage in summer learning that will make their summer story rock! Remind them fill out their BINGO card and record their learning minutes on their logs. Encourage your children to visit our “Stories Rock!” Google Classroom and spend some time on the suggested educational websites. Anything you do to help keep your child learning over break will make their story ROCK this summer!
