Mattoon Middle School

Mr. Enyart's 6th-grade students completed a “brain dump” this week on the tables in the MMS Media Center. Students read a book together and at the end of a section, Mr. Enyart asked them about one topic and they “dumped their brains” and wrote everything they remembered about that topic on the dry-erase tables! We love having these tables - so much fun! #MCUSD2 #Mattoon #MMS
