The first event will be for Fourth & Fifth Grade Families. Please save the date (Friday, December 13th) for a parent to parent connecting to PAUS event. More information to follow. Please send Denise Sullivan, Morse Family Liaison, any questions you need answers to about PAUS.

Students, staff and parent volunteers went over to Magazine Beach and ran or walked from 9:00 to 10:30AM. It was a beautiful but slightly chilly day and of course the rain the evening before made the conditions very muddy. Fun was had by all!

Mathical Books
 By Liz Vincent
Mathematics is more than just using numbers and equations. It is all around us. It also develops valuable skills in problem solving, critical thinking, and language. A great way to tap into these skills and dive deeper into the world of math is by reading math books. Since 2015, the Mathical Book Prize has been awarded annually to fiction and nonfiction books that inspire children of all ages to see math in the world around them. These stories include picture books, graphic novels, chapter books, and young adult literature.
Here are a few of my favorite Mathical Book Award winners to get you started.
