📢 Great news! Masterson has kicked off our very first 23/24 AMI morning with 3 successful Google Meets! 🎉 Our students learned about important topics such as the Martin Luther King Holiday, mastering time-telling skills to the hour, present tense verbs, open syllable long vowel patterns, and expanding their vocabulary with words like "pause" and "disturb". 🌟 We want to give a huge shout out to all of you, parents, for your support in ensuring your child was logged in and ready to learn! 🙌 Together, we are making education a top priority! 💪
Don't forget to show up for specials this afternoon, and then we want to see those fun in the snow pictures! You can share your photos in the comments below! ⤵️🖤💛

Kennett #39 schools will be closed tomorrow, January 16th, 2024, due to inclement weather. We will be implementing an Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) day to ensure continued learning. Please refer to the schedule below to help your child find a quiet space to log on during the designated times if they are in grades K-2. Pre-k students have been provided with a work packet to complete at home. We hope you stay safe and warm on this chilly Martin Luther King holiday!

Masterson Families:
Chromebooks (K-2) and work packets are being sent home today in case we use an AMI day next week. If your child was absent today, you may stop by the office until 4:00 PM to pick up your Chromebook and work packet. Thank you!
We celebrated 3 more students being able to write their first and last names! I couldn't be prouder of them!



Mrs. Patterson's class had the best time making ornaments, going to the movies, and caroling! ♥️💚










Ended Christmas Week in Mrs. Patterson's class with gingerbread houses, winning the Golden Fork (which earned us an extra recess), and fun movie party! 🎄🎅🏼









We had an incredible week at Masterson Elementary! From serving hot chocolate to parents in the morning car rider lines, meeting Santa, showing our holiday spirit each day with our festive hats, socks, candy cane colors, or our best grinchy green, caroling around town, learning about Christmas celebrations and traditions around the world in second grade, to visiting the Palace Cinema (btw..Frozen is still a fan favorite!), we had a blast! Our staff also joined in the fun with friendly competitions this week. We're tired but grateful for this fun-filled week with your children. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Everyone at Masterson wishes each of you a very merry and bright holiday season! See you on January 9th. ❤️💚










Our first ever Quarterly Golden Fork winners were awarded an extra recess today!
Kindergarten: Gibson and Patterson tied
1st Grade: Crawford
2nd Grade: Brown and Parr tied






Christmas time at Masterson is the best!❤️💚




Mrs. Crawford's class won the Golden Fork for the fourth time and won an extra recess! We are cafeteria rock stars!

Early Dismissal Reminder: Masterson will dismiss tomorrow at 12:05 pm for Winter break. We'll see our sweet students back at Masterson on Tuesday, January 9th! Happy Holidays! ⛄🎅🏼🎄❄❤️💚

I love working with people who go above and beyond for our kids, especially when it helps bring Christmas magic! Mrs. Shawn Crittendon is the best in all things, and her holly jolly bus is no exception! Wouldn’t you like to ride on her bus? ❤️🎄🎅🎁🚌
Thank you, Shawn, for all the extra you do! 😍



Masterson Parents: No tutoring next week. Tutoring students will go home their regular way at 2:45 pm. Thank you!

Today for math, we partnered with our Paired Pals to review addition. Each pair used a set of dice to come up with an addition sentence and then, if needed, they used their bears to solve the problem. We also had a quick 3 Crayon Challenge before dismissal!









2nd grade recess fun!
