Our fourth graders had a lot of fun crafting spiders! You can make one too with just a paper plate, paint, googly eyes and pipe cleaners.
Picture Day for our in-person learners is tomorrow, October 14th. There is still time to pre–order your photos online at www.inter-state.com/order or by having your child(ren) turn in their order form tomorrow.
Virtual families are being contacted individually to schedule a time slot to have their child(ren)’s photos taken on Thursday, December 3rd.
Our second grade students were able to participate in a fun and engaging activity while working with place values. Look closely at what these silly monsters are made out of! For this activity students cut place values out of paper and glued the pieces onto construction paper to create their very own place value monster. Once the students finished creating their monsters it was time to find out how old each monster is. Students recorded the sum of each place value and then they figured out the total sum of all the place values. Everyone was surprised at how old monsters can be!!
MMCSD Musicians Creating Masterpieces; Here at Mount Morris Central School District, Mr. Irwin and his band students have created a video of a performance that we are pleased to share with you. This performance was created by multi-track recording each part in spaced-out lesson groups, and using individual student tracks from remote learners.

These talented musicians are currently working on a Halloween type piece that uses ostinato patterns, unorthodox instrument sounds, voices (with the HS Chorus) and some electronic alterations (reversal, pitch shifting and reverberation) to create a 'spooky' sound-scape. This piece was co-written by the ensemble and they are calling it "10/31".

Picture Day is on Wednesday, October 14th! This year we are asking that orders be placed online in an effort to avoid the picture envelopes passing through so many hands.

If you have not received this email please call our school message line at (585) 658-5010. All of our virtual learners will be contacted individually to schedule a time to have their photo taken.

Congratulations to our Junior High and Senior High Student of the Month Award Winners for September!!
Our fourth graders are working with an Elementary Science Program kit from the Genesee Valley Educational Partnership (GVEP) called Birds and their Adaptations. Through a variety of activities and hands-on experience students will discover how adaptations help living things survive. Students are learning that different birds have special beaks that allow them to eat specific foods. In these images’ students are dissecting barn owl pellets to see what animals barn owls eat. Students wore gloves and goggles as they used tweezers and wooden probes to pull out a variety of bones. The bones were placed on a bond chart based on the type of bone and what animal it came from.
Monday, October 5th begins Spirit Week here at MMCSD! To celebrate we have a different dress up theme planned for each day of the week: Monday: PJ/Flannel Day; Tuesday: Sports/Jersey Day; Wednesday: Twin Day; Thursday: Throwback/Decades Day; Friday: Blue and White Day. We can’t wait to see all the crazy outfits!
