Check out Mrs. Morrison's first grade class at Margaret Chase Smith. They have been working hard on writing words with multiple syllables, and they have been learning that every syllable must include a vowel. When your child is writing at home and gets stuck when writing a word, encourage them to break the word apart by syllable to help students spell words correctly!

The stars aligned perfectly at Margaret Chase Smith School last Tuesday evening as their coyotes joined us for our first literacy night. Families were able to seek their own adventure as they visited various classrooms with read alouds and activities. Chase made a special appearance along with Mrs. Dube from the Springvale Library. Students were able to head home with a special treat of trail mix donated by their PTA.

MCS families were invited in on Wednesday afternoon as children explored the world of color and the colors in their world. The students exposed their families to the functionality of color through information & ideas as well as in art and nature. Some students explained about permanent and temporary colors, staining and fading, and they dramatized washing and drying within a laundromat.

Last week, Mrs. Sturtevant's and Ms. Howard's students at Margaret Chase Smith had the opportunity to share their recent animal informational and "how to" writing pieces with other students within the building. These coyotes did a great job creating chapters to organize their information, adding labels to their illustrations as well as adding transition words to connect their steps.
