Recently, students in Mrs. Bair's sixth grade math class have been reviewing proportions and ratios.  As a part of this unit of study, students were able to research a famous building, and make a scale model of it.  Students enjoyed being able to find a scale factor that would work for them, and find the materials to do it.

On Thursday, April 12th, students in the sixth grade ended their unit of study of the Middles Ages, by having a day full of medieval activities.  These activities included donut jousting, goblet bedazzling, and launching marshmallows with popsicle stick catapults.  At the end of the day, students shared in a medieval feast consisting of chicken, bread, fruit and apple juice.

During the month of March, students at Maple Ridge focused on the importance of good judgment.  Students from each class were chosen as students of the month because they exemplified this ability throughout the month.
