Maple Ridge fourth grade students have recently been learning about internal and external structures during their science time. As part of their studies they participated in a STEM activity where each group had to build a strong, sturdy structure using spaghetti noodles and marshmallows that could withstand a wind test! We love science!
Mrs. Seoane’s class put their knowledge of lifecycles and their knowledge of origami to the test with these butterfly life cycle projects.
Last week our 5th grade students went on a field trip to Shadow Mountain. Students rotated through different science stations and did compass reading and orienteering. They also played had a scavenger hunt/bingo activity while observing things. They had a great time playing nine square, volleyball, basketball, football, and going on a hike. Such a fun day for our 5th grade students!
Maple Ridge first graders have been learning about apples and how they grow. Last week our first graders went on a field trip to Rowley's Red Barn. They had a presentation about the fruits they grow there and how they plant and harvest them. They also got to pick apples from the orchard (and eat them!) and play in the play area and get to know their animals at their petting zoo. The llama was the sweetest thing ever! Our Maple Ridge students learned a lot and had a great time!

Mrs. Porter’s class is working hard learning about life cycles. After they get all their information, they will make a poster using text features to display their findings.
Ms. Harward's third graders recently practiced addition skills outside, using chalk to show all of our work! We were split into groups and worked together to solve the problems. It was a nice way to get some fresh air while still growing our brains at the same time.
We look forward to meeting with all parents during our first conference of the 2022-2023 school year. This is a great opportunity to discuss student strengths and weaknesses, to set goals, and to ask clarifying questions about classroom work and activities. If you are unable to attend during the available conference times, please email your student's teacher individually to try to coordinate a time that will work for both of you.
