Exciting moments at Margaret Chase Smith this week! Students, parents, and teachers came together for two special showcases, highlighting the efforts of Ms. Wilson's, Ms. Cote's, and Ms. Devine's classrooms. On Monday, Ms. Wilson and Ms. Cote hosted the K for ME Unit 2 showcase, a program supporting kindergarten students' growth in literacy, science, social studies, and more. Students delved into caring for living things and exploring animals like fish, frogs, owls, and wolves through research and collaboration. Parents were treated to a showcase of the students' creations. Wednesday brought another showcase, this time featuring Ms. Devine's Pre-K students and their progress in Unit 2 for Pre-K for ME. This program focuses on building social-emotional, language, literacy, math, and vocabulary skills. Unit 2 explored the concepts of friendship, teaching students the importance of being themselves, supporting friends, and resolving conflicts. Parents witnessed their little ones' growth through read-alouds, rhyming words, and the development of beginning writing skills.

All Margaret Chase Smith classrooms have positive incentive plans to encourage expected behaviors while in school. Students decide to make a plan as a class and choose a reward they want to achieve. Last week, three classes agreed on a “Yes Day,” meaning students were allowed to make suggestions for the day while still participating in instructional activities.
