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.

5th graders in Mrs. Huerta's class learned about rising action, exposition, climax, falling action, and resolutions in the novel "Esperanza Rising". Great work, Rockets!
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!
MES students wore orange on Friday for childhood cancer awareness!
Our PreK friends are having a blast!
Attention Preschool-Age Parents!
🚨 Impressive work alert! 🚨 5th graders are learning to analyze why characters react differently to events in a novel and how those reactions reveal more about the characters. Students are making inferences and quoting directly from the text to then construct character reaction paragraphs! WOW!
Teachers do WAY more than just teach. 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Meehan has mastered the art of getting knots out of shoelaces! 😂
