News from our PBIS Team!

One of our MES 5 is Ready!

What does "Ready" mean here at MES? 
It can look different throughout the day depending on what class or subject they are in! Ready means having the right materials ready. Ready means having a calm body and listening ears so they are ready for the directions. Ready means staying focused and on task. Ask your students, what does Ready look like in the classroom?

Handbook Highlight: Math

Eureka Math Squared is created to build math understanding from kindergarten to 12th grade. It’s not enough for students to know the process for solving a problem; they need to understand why that process works so they can use it anytime. Teaching mathematics as a story, EM2 builds students’ knowledge logically and thoroughly to help them achieve deep understanding. While this approach is unfamiliar to those of us who grew up memorizing mathematical facts and formulas, it has been tested and proven to be the most successful method in the world. For additional resources please visit:
