Yesterday, readers in Mrs. Strauss’ fourth grade class, celebrated the culmination of part of their reading unit, “Reading History: The American Revolution,” with a debate! To prepare for this debate, students took a side as either a patriot or loyalist and completed research with that role in mind. Finally, students were able to reenact the Second Continental Congress debate about independence. As you will see in the videos and pictures students were thoroughly prepared, engaged and excited! Excellent job, readers!

In their new writing unit, Disciplined-Based Writing, 4th graders learned that meaningful research is far more than simply transcribing facts from texts to notebooks. These young teams of science writers thought about specific aspects of a subtopic as well as what larger systems this subtopic is part of. Together, writers worked to research, organize and write a chapter book about their topic. Students in Ms. Leach's room celebrated this work with their little buddies in Ms. Coutinho's class. Nice job writers!

3rd Grade asked and they received! As part of their writing unit, "Changing the World," students wrote persuasive essays to Mrs. Chase asking for some new writing supplies. Their arguments convinced Mrs. Chase that the supplies were needed, and she delivered! 🙂🖊📒✏️

Today, third grade readers in Mrs. Fanning's class dove into their new Mystery unit in Reading, as they solved a "real-life" mystery in their classroom. The mystery of....the missing pencil sharpener! Students closely read clues their teacher had given them, and worked together to narrow down the suspects.

This lesson helped to build enthusiasm for the unit, and encouraged students to start thinking (today or whenever reading a mystery book), "What is the mystery here?"🕵️‍♂️

This past Thursday, kindergarten students celebrated all of their hard work after having finished their first unit in reading, “We are Readers.” Since the beginning of the school year, kindergarten teachers have been working to keep a buzz of excitement around reading as they read aloud students' favorite storybooks. Students also began to build foundational reading skills including print and phonemic awareness. Additionally, they were given daily opportunities to practice these skills on their own and with their peers. Students wrapped up the unit by creating a mask of their favorite storybook character and parading around the school as their grade 1-5 peers and teachers cheered them on. Congratulations storybook readers! 🎉📚🎉

We are SO excited to be sharing all of the wonderful literacy work your children are doing in their classrooms at NMES. We would like to take a minute to introduce ourselves, so that if your kiddo says they worked with one of us at school, you know who we are. 😀

Mrs. Keri Stack has been teaching for over 30 years and has been in the Plymouth Public Schools for 27 years! She has been a classroom teacher, Title 1 teacher, reading coach and consulting teacher of literacy. Mrs. Stack is mom to three boys James, Michael and Connor. She can often be found with them and her husband on their boat while fishing in the summer. When not fishing or laughing with her family on the boat, can you guess what Mrs. Stack is doing? That's right! Reading!!!

Mrs. Siobhan Spidle has been teaching kindergarten at NMES for the past 9 years. In years prior to NMES, she taught first grade at Federal Furnace Elementary school, as well as kindergarten at Sacred Heart Early Childhood Center. She has two daughters, Lucy (age 9) and Penny (age 5). Her favorite thing to do is... read! Add reading to sitting on the beach and you will see Mrs. Spidle is in her paradise!
