✏️ Students are off today, but our AMAZING staff members are learning and growing professionally at today's Teachers' Institute! ✏️
Thank you, Mokena Fire Department, for teaching our MES students all about fire safety this week!
Friendly reminder: no school tomorrow and Monday! Enjoy the long weekend!
Second grade students visited Kindergarten to share the books they made as part of their end of module performance task. The books showcased informational writing comparing and contrasting MES to a school they researched from across the world. As a bonus, they also performed Readers' Theaters about incredible and unusual schools around the world! Way to go Stars!
Mrs. Arduino's class has been using habits of character to make a magnificent thing!!
The "Painted Essay" is an organizational structure to support informational writing in our new ELA program. This patterned structure is tied to certain colors so that students are able to use and internalize a template for thinking – and therefore, writing.
The MES library is the perfect place to watch the playground construction in action. Mrs. Andresen has curated a collection of books for students to read to learn more about the equipment they might see.
Kindergarteners used their imaginations to design and create a toy from objects found in the classroom and at home just like the character in the book they are reading. Then, they asked each other questions about the toys to practice speaking and listening standards. Great work!

Our PreK friends are having a blast!
Teachers do WAY more than just teach. 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Meehan has mastered the art of getting knots out of shoelaces! 😂
