This past week was the first day of kindergarten! We have many students who are staying for all day kindergarten and they did a great job! They are learning lots of new things and we are so happy to have all our kindergartners with us at school!
 

Mrs. Sanders’ 4th graders started the school year with STEM activities. They stacked cups in a variety of ways using various methods. They had to be creative and work as a team.

Students in Mrs. Kruse's 5th grade class participated in a problem solving/team building activity on the first day of school. They were trying to build a bridge for their beans using only a piece of paper.

Our Maple Ridge Open House will be held on Tuesday, August 15th between 12:30-3:00. Come and see your classroom, meet your teacher, and sign up for volunteer opportunities in the classroom or with our Maple Ridge PTA. We can't wait to see you!

**Please note: Students in Mrs. Schellenberg's 4th grade class should attend on Monday, August 14th between 12:30-3:00. She will not be available during the regular open house.

A big thank you to our @maple_ridge_elementary_pta for such a fun field day this week. It was an awesome way to celebrate the ending of a great year. Thank you to @mapletonfirerescue for providing extra fun at the end! We love our school and community. See you all in August!

Maple Ridge kindergartners had a fun field day to celebrate the end of the school year! They ate popsicles, bounced on bounce houses, and played with bubbles and big building blocks. It was a fun day to celebrate how much they have learned in kindergarten!

Mrs. Steen's class has been working on making a 9-square. They are determining how tall to make it, how wide the squares should be, and how thick the pipe that they use to make it should be to make it sturdy. They are counting how many fittings they need to keep it together as well. Once it's designed, they will shop for supplies online to determine how much it will cost.
