On Thursday, January 26th, Ms. Anderson's fifth grade class reviewed fractions by playing a fun game.  The game was a version of the popular game Candy Land.

This last week, Ms. Sanders, and Ms. Hall held tryouts for the play Treasure Island.   

On January 20th, the second grade had a fun presentation from "The Rainforest Van".  They came from Loveland Living Planet Aquarium. Second grade students learned about the different continents and also learned what life, weather, and culture is like on different continents. They had a fun time seeing real life animals from continents that have rainforests. 

On Friday, January 20th, several Maple Mountain High School baseball players visited various classrooms at Maple Ridge.  The players took the time to read with some of the students, and play with them during recess.
