Third grade students at Margaret Chase Smith have been working on their opinion/persuasive writing pieces. These coyotes have learned how to state their opinion, defend their opinion with examples and/or facts, and provide a closure to their writing. Coyotes were then able to share their writing pieces with families, other students, and even some teachers. The students did a great job sharing their writing and they also gave some feedback!

Mrs. Cote's kindergarten class at Margaret Chase Smith has been working hard on their construction unit. Students have learned how to measure, plan, and build using a variety of materials. They have also learned about artists and mediums, and students had opportunities to replicate some of the different techniques used by artists. To celebrate the work of the students, families were able to come in and have students share what they have been able to make throughout the unit.

MCS was able to host a talent show for coyotes to showcase some of their talents before spring break. Talents ranged from dancing, singing, beat boxing, magic tricks, martial arts, cheering, to playing the piano! It was incredible to see the talent that we have, and it was inspiring to see these courageous coyotes get up on stage to share it with an audience.
