Recently, Ms. Murphy, Mrs. White and Mrs, DaCosta's classrooms had an unforgettable experience welcoming Mr. Drew and Animals Too to our school! 🐢🕷️🐍
Students had the opportunity to learn about and interact with an incredible variety of animals, including a sulcata tortoise, snapping turtle, tegus, a tarantula, a python snake, and even cockroaches!
The presentation was both educational and engaging, giving students a hands-on experience that sparked curiosity, excitement, and lots of brave moments. We are so grateful for this unique opportunity to bring learning to life in such a fun and meaningful way!
Thank you, Mr. Drew, for an amazing visit!
Good afternoon MCSCS! We thank Ms. Stevens for providing us with an Irish bagpipe serenade as the students and staff arrived at school on St. Patrick's Day!
The staff also had some fun playing Rock-Paper-Scissors though out St. Patrick's Day! The competition went right up until 2:00 and made both the staff and students laugh and compete throughout the day!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from the MCSCS! Thank you to Ms. Stevens for greeting the students this morning with a live performance playing the bagpipes and we also had a few leprechauns on the loose! Enjoy the day!
Mrs. Noyes' third graders are bringing science to life in their classroom by raising salmon eggs. The students are monitoring the eggs as they develop . The students engage in learning what type of environment the salmon eggs need to grow into healthy salmon ready to be released back into their natural environment.

Grade 4 participated in a virtual presentation through Acadia National Park about Amazing Animal Adaptations. Students learned how various Maine species use their bodies and behaviors to help them survive. The virtual visit connected beautifully with the 4th Grade ELA module about animal defense mechanisms. Check out the great notes and information the students gathered from the cool experience!
Today for Read Across America Week, in Mrs. Creps' First Grade classroom they focused on "Uniquely Me." The class spent the day exploring self-love and confidence through two beautiful stories: The Best Part of Me by Wendy Ewald and The Reflection in Me by Marc Colagiovanni and Peter Reynolds.
The best part of the day? Watching the children look in the mirror and practice saying exactly what they love about themselves! ❤️ After finding their favorite features, they took to their journals to write about the "best part" of who they are and why it’s special.
A quote from the day included, "I like my teeth because when my teeth fall out I get money.")
March Madness with a twist of BOOKS! The 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students at the MCSCS celebrated reading and kicked off March Madness with the revealing of read aloud books. The classes will read informational and fiction books and at the end of March the class votes will find the March Madness Book Champion. Have fun reading and good luck books!
Check out a few pics from our Physical Education classes at the MCSCS. The students learn a lot about teamwork, warm-ups and stretching, playing games and using sports equipment like basketballs, pickle ball racquets, and many more!
