Mrs. J's Kinders Celebrate the 100th Day
The 3rd graders in Mrs. Ponticello's were very busy this week. First, we made posters of text features. Then, we became scientist and experimented to answer the question, "what materials create the most friction".
During 2nd grade PIE time we brought the book The Sounds of Trash to LIFE! A few students recycled trash and made musical instruments. We enjoyed a little concert after they shared how they made their instruments.

Giant-Round Up at the Register
The Methacton School District is once again partnering with the GIANT Company on a special school program to help support our students. From now through February 28, 2022, GIANT customers can “ROUND UP AT THE REGISTER” to support the Methacton Backpack Program. Customers at the local GIANT (Egypt Road) can “round up” their grocery total at the register and the cumulative total of all the “spare change” donated will go into a fund for the Methacton School District. Last year, this fundraiser awarded more than $6,600 to the Methacton Backpack Program.
Standards Based Grading
The Methacton School District uses a standards-based grading system for students in grades K-4. This system helps us more accurately measure students’ mastery of PA Core Academic Standards in all subjects. The elementary report cards have been revised to reflect the changes to the state standards and Methacton’s curricula. The goal of this approach to reporting is to provide parents, students, and teachers with a detailed picture of what students know and are able to demonstrate. The information provided on the report card encourages dialogue about areas of strength and need, and how our students can continue to grow academically.
This article, Seven Reasons for Standards-Based Grading, explains more about standards-based grading.
As your child’s teacher explained during our Back-to-School night, I CAN statements have been developed to share with you what skills your child is being assessed on and the expectation of mastery for each trimester. The I CAN statements are listed on our MSD Family Center.

Counselor's Corner
Consider sharing these words of wisdom from one of our second graders. “Sometimes it’s hard to not blame somebody else when you know something is your fault.” Taking responsibility for our thoughts, words and actions is a lifelong skill. Apologizing for mistakes is a great way to earn respect. If your child is having difficulty with peer relationships, feel free to contact Lori Shaw, School Counselor - 610-489-5000 X41207 or LShaw@methacton.org
