We are "hopping" with pride for our 3rd graders as they finished creating a "Freaky Frog Book" that contained numerous writing pieces including pourquoi narratives and informational writing about frogs. They also created a frog trading card with a detailed scientific drawing, basic facts learned through their research, and scores for various features such as poison and camouflage.

Join us for the annual ArtWorks Festival at Lincoln-Way East on Saturday, March 16th from 10am-3pm, showcasing artwork from MES, MIS, and MJHS!

1st grade and 3rd grade buddies held a celebration of learning with each other today. 1st graders shared their expert writing about birds and 3rd graders shared the writing pieces inside their "Freaky Frog Books". Great work!
