Mrs. Spitz' 3rd grade Collicot students have been working on their "Giraffes Can't Dance" artwork during Art class with Mrs. Bernini.
Recent focus has been on completing their backgrounds and exploring sgraffito. Sgraffito is an art technique that involves scratching through the top layer of one color to reveal an underlying layer of another color. Students were making their mark to create a grassy foreground filled with tall blades of grass, leaves, flowers, and insects.

Mrs. Gillooly's Tucker Art room was full of color last week with these 1st graders and their Van Gogh inspired sunflowers!

Congratulations to Collicot's Harry Munger from Mme. Theobald's class, who is a featured reader on the MPL's Dial-a-Story service during the month of October!
As a reminder, Dial-a-Story is a Milton Public Library service where folks can call 617-915-1915 anytime and listen to librarians read stories and tell jokes. The content changes monthly, and for a while now they've been including guest readers - usually kids - who read a picture book in the Dial 6 slot.
Harry is reading L'Halloween de Sami by Mary Labatt (in French!), and October stories are posted now (they'll be live all month long). Please give a call and hear Harry read!

September is Library Card Sign-up Month!
In celebration of Library Card Sign-up Month, Milton Public Library teen librarian Tyler Vachon came to the MHS library so students could obtain an MPL library card. Tyler and Ms. Alpert, the MHS library media specialist, collaborated to provide the cards to the students and to promote all of the resources available to them with a public library card.
With a library card, students can hold and request print and audio books, use apps such as Libby and Hoopla for E-books/ E-audio, conduct research using the online databases and check out items from the new collection of Library of Things. This eclectic group of things you can borrow for free with your library card includes items such as a pickleball set, lawn games, a babysitting kit, a podcasting kit, a karaoke machine and many more.
There truly are endless possibilities when students have a public library card!

Celebrating the US Constitution!
MPS students celebrated the 238th anniversary of the creation of the US Constitution in their history classes on September 17, when schools across the nation celebrate Constitution Day.
A wide variety of lessons challenged students to critically think about the tenets of our founding document, including analysis of the Bill of Rights, the concept of separation of powers and the connections between our constitution and the ideals of the Enlightenment and human rights.
In Ms. Dann's seventh grade class students studied the Preamble as they began to create their own Student Bill of Rights, and in MHS US History classes students considered if the Constitution has stood the "test of time" in our current society. In Ms. Kelley's MHS classes students tested their knowledge of the constitution.

Thank you to our Pierce students who took some time to help keep our Pierce grounds looking good!
Join us in celebrating these talented MPS students who have received academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Program for their strong performance in school and on assessments.
Nationwide, awardees are among the highest achieving students in their communities and we are thrilled to recognize this impressive group of students!
Ms. Bernini's Collicot Art students practiced contour line drawing, a skill that requires slowing down one's drawing and really looking at all the details in the object at hand. It takes a lot of patience, focus, and risk taking since students were drawing with Sharpies.
Students were asked to deeply observe various art room supplies. Upon choosing an item, students allowed their hand to draw everything their eyes saw. They had to look slowly and draw slowly. Students were hyper focused to capture all the details and the results are magnificent!

Recess is often a fan favorite for our students and while many like to run, climb, shoot hoops and play ball, sometimes kids prefer quieter activities like chess in the shade. We're happy to see our students enjoying it all!
