➕✖️📐MAKING MATH MEMORIES📐✖️➕ Last night, Port Salerno Elementary School kicked off the first Family Math Night of the 23-24 school year, and it was math-tastic! Families were lined up out the door, waiting to dive into fun math-related games. Students showed off their math skills, participating in a number of B.E.S.T.-aligned (Florida’s Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking) and grade-appropriate math games. Activities included counting money and determining whether there was enough to purchase an item from the 'store,' rolling dice and 'racing to 100,' duplicating patterns, and more! Students who attended even got to take math kits and math-related books so the fun could continue at home! What a great event our fabulous math department, PSE's Math Coach and PSE staff put on! Keep an eye out for a Family Math Night coming to your elementary school! Tonight is SeaWind Elementary's turn! 📐✖️➕ #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

🇺🇸CELEBRATING CONSTITUTION WEEK🇺🇸 Did you know the Martin County School District has invited local judges and attorneys to celebrate Constitution Week with us for nearly 20 years? Today, we visited 19th Judicial Circuit Judge Kathleen Roberts at Port Salerno Elementary School and 19th Judicial Circuit Judge Darren Steele at Indiantown Middle School as they talked to students about the Constitution. Judge Roberts played a game with the students to help them differentiate the three branches of government. Judge Steele focused on the Bill of Rights and related the freedom of speech to a very important message about the use of social media. #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #ConstitutionWeek

🇺🇸CELEBRATE FREEDOM WEEK🇺🇸 The Florida Legislature has designated the last full week in September as "Celebrate Freedom Week." During this special week, the Martin County School District will proudly incorporate meaningful activities and lessons to reinforce the principles our nation was founded on. 🇺🇸📖 Celebrate Freedom Week highlights the significance of the Declaration of Independence. Through our social studies classes, students will participate in an age-appropriate in-depth student of the intent, meaning and importance of the Declaration of Independence. Each morning throughout the week, students will recite the following words of the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Families that do not wish to have their child participate in the oral recitation of the Declaration of Independence must provide written notice to their school no later than Friday morning, September 22. #ALLINMartin👊 #CelebrateFreedomWeek2023

🟡🟣A DOT OF INSPIRATION🟣🟡 Martin County School Board Member Amy Pritchett (District 4) visited Port Salerno Elementary School today and learned all about the story behind the school's new art installation! Mrs. Monks, PSE's Art Teacher, is behind the idea of this beautiful wall. The idea came from the book 'The Dot' by Peter Reynolds, which talks about how you can create anything if you just start somewhere. Inspiration can come from anywhere, even the smallest dot! Each dot in the art installation represents a student. PSE will celebrate National Dot Day (Sept. 15) by wearing polka dots! #ALLINMartin👊 #MCSDBetterTogether💫
