Mrs. Porter’s third grade class learned all about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. They read about the famous German American puppeteer, Tony Sarg. Then they designed their own balloon puppets for the Maple Ridge Thanksgiving Day Parade!
On Tuesday afternoon we had our 8th Annual Maple Ridge Gobble Off! One representative from each class came down to the office to gobble over the intercom. Students in their classrooms voted for their favorites. This is a well-loved tradition at our school! Congratulations to our winners who each took home a turkey for their family's Thanksgiving dinner. 1st place: Daxton Skinner, 2nd place: Rohan McGary, 3rd place: Nolan Peterson.
Students in Mrs. Sanders' fourth grade class recently read about a famous collage artist. They used various mediums to create their own collage art and displayed their masterpieces in the hall.
Students in Mrs. Mathew's fourth grade had fun practicing math skills while playing a fun game called "Emoji Island."
4th graders in Mrs. Sanders’ class learned about energy, force and mass by bowling with water bottles and various sized balls. They recorded their data and shared their findings with their classmates.
Mrs. Rasmussen's 3rd grade class recently learned about Indigenous people, their cultures and their traditions. Students created totem poles with special symbols that represented themselves!
To wrap up a unit on colonies, the 5th graders had a colonial day. They rotated from classroom to classroom, making whirligigs, playing a fur trading game, cat's cradle, marbles, and learning a dance.
Today is Education Support Professionals' Day. We love all of our support professionals! Our custodians, sweepers, secretaries, technicians, bus drivers, crossing guards, lunch ladies, nurses, etc. are the VERY BEST! We truly could not be successful without them! We are grateful everyday for their hard work and for helping make Maple Ridge such a great place to be. (Pictured here are just a few of them!)
Mrs. Curiel, our school nurse, has been teaching lessons on health topics in many of our classrooms. She recently visited Mr. Bates' 4th grade class. Students learned about hygiene and how to stay healthy during the winter months and about chronic illnesses and how they are not contagious. We are grateful for Mrs. Curiel and all she does to keep students healthy and safe at Maple Ridge!
