Have a great Spring Break!
Our First grade Little Leopards completed their CKLA unit on Habitats and created this display to show their learning. They learned about the climates of habitats, plant life, and the animals that lived in each. They tied math standards to the unit by graphing their favorite habitat they learned about and writing an opinion piece on their favorite habitat and why. #TheresNoPlaceLikeMES #ExpecttheBestatMES
8 of our third and fourth grade EAST students represented MES at the EAST Conference at the Hot Springs Convention Center.
They presented all the amazing projects we have been working on this year, learned about projects other schools are doing, experienced new technology and met new friends. Harper Crowder was awarded a difference maker award for her excitement and presentation of our projects. She also won a mini drone in the Tinkerspace Scavenger Hunt.
We love collaborating with our school and community to make Malvern a better place to live.

Spring Break is coming up!
Here is another Reading tip as you enjoy "Judy Moody" with your child!
Stay engaged with your child throughout the reading time- stop from time to time to explain an unfamiliar vocabulary word, discuss an important point, or ask your child to make predictions. You don't want to derail too much, but you do want to make the reading time together interactive!
Remember that bank deposit day is tomorrow (Wednesday) at MES!
We hope you are enjoying reading "Judy Moody" with your child.
Expect some fidgeting - Listening during reading time does not have to be a stationary activity. Some listeners will sit as stones with eyes and ears fixed on you. Other listeners stay more engaged with something in their hands like a small toy, crayons, or a stuffed animal. Some children might listen better if allowed to walk around the room or bounce on the bed a bit. Work together to find the way that works best for your child!
We are selling popcorn at MES to raise money for personal books for students to keep and take home.
The classroom in each grade level that sells the most bags will win a popcorn party! Find your favorite Little Leopard and buy some popcorn today.
Treering allows you to add customized pages to your child's yearbook for free. If you wish to add these customized pages for free, you must order their yearbook and add the pages by March 29. It is easy to add your own photos from the year and have all the memories from their year in one spot. Here is the link to order:
https://www.treering.com/purchase?PassCode=101630525910946
They also have great tutorials on how to create the customized pages on the website!
We had our kickoff assembly today for Arkansas Reads One Book. We are so excited to start reading "Judy Moody was in a Mood" on Monday, March 4. Students will all be given a copy of the book, a reading schedule and family activities you can do with the book on Monday. They will be bringing the book home but need to be sure they return it everyday. We look forward to reading this book with all of you!
Remember that tomorrow is Bank Day!
Class photos are coming up soon!
Make sure you have these dates on your calendars!
Happy Valentine's Day!
We had a blast celebrating the 100th day of school last week at MES! From dressing up like 100 year old ladies and gentlemen to creative shirts and activities, it was a fun day for all.
