Welcome to Morgan
Morgan offers a comprehensive early childhood development program. Primary students, in grades 1-3, are divided by grade levels. They are grouped and re-grouped by skills in reading and math, according to abilities and need.
Some intermediate teachers specialize in math, social studies, science and language arts. They utilize curriculum guides, with flexibility to design instruction to meet individual or group needs.
Besides classroom teachers, there are additional teachers for art, humanities, vocal music, speech/language, physical education, library/media center and gifted-talented-creative programs.
Morgan offers special-needs instruction and facilities for MMD/FMD, a deaf educator and full-time interpreters for the hearing-impaired.

Photo(s) of the Day: Kindergarten Research Project |

Julie Gargus' kindergarten class recently worked on the writing standard (K.W.7) "Participate in shared research and writing projects." Before spring break the students selected animals and were paired based on their selections. That week they researched their animal using the website - www.kidfriendlysearch,com.
Then they used texts to research their animals. They recorded the information they found in their Science Journals. Their research culminated in a presentation to the class.
"I was so proud of them as they worked," said Ms. Gargus. " They truly were engaged in and enjoying the process. "
