Welcome to MPES!

Flowers created by our third grade students inspired by Georgia O'Keefe, and our own amazing art teacher, Mr. Lombardo!
For Autism Awareness Day in April, K students created puzzle piece artwork to show their compassion and creativity!
Two types of Critical Thinking are Analyzing and Discriminating. In analyzing, students break wholes into parts. In discriminating, students group things together, as seen here expressed beautifully in 100 Days Posters by 1st graders.

MPES Students writing and speaking about the Carmel 6 Cs and the Habits of Mind!

During the month of May, students and staff at Matthew Paterson spoke, wrote about and practiced the habits of Managing Impulsivity and Taking Responsible Risks as Good Citizens. Now in June, we are focusing on the habits of Thinking Flexibility, Applying Past Knowledge and the Carmel C of Critical Thinking. As the 2018-2019 school year draws to a close, I want to express my thanks for all of the students and staff who contributed this year to Keenan's Corner!

This student shared her writing on Citizenship with our school during the morning announcements.
