Welcome to MPES!

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 February, students and staff at Matthew Paterson spoke, wrote about and practiced the habits of persisting, remaining open to continuous learning and the Carmel C of Collaboration. Now in March, we will be focusing on the habit of striving for accuracy and the Carmel C of Critical Thinking. Each month as students share their reflections, ideas, writing and thoughts you can find examples in Keenan's Corner!

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