Congratulations Mr. Morgan for receiving your doctorate degree. This is a great accomplishment, and we’re happy to be able to celebrate with you!
MTSS students take a short break from the math curriculum to play March, WE MEAN MATH, Madness! Students created numbers from 0-999 and placed into the bracket for Round 1. Then they used probability by flipping a coin to determine the winners for each round. In Round 2, Round 3, and Round 4 the number with less value won. In Round 5, Round 6, and the Championship,the number with the greatest value won. On Monday, we will all be back to practice in Number Worlds and busy building MATH CHAMPIONS! #growinglearners
First graders in Ms. Fegan's class have been working hard at telling time! They practiced writing different times to the hour and half hour on an analog clock on the white board. They also practiced with a fun game using a beach ball with different times on it.
