March 2023

Second graders in Mrs. Berbert’s class learned about the importance of using the right tools when measuring! We used yard sticks to measure how far we jumped outside and learned that it’s helpful to use a big tool for a big measuring job!

Mrs. Sanders’ 4th graders have been doing a lot of reading since March was declared reading month at Maple Ridge. They have been working on identifying theme, main idea & details, and summarizing.

Have you been reading? Splash Summit Reading calendars are due tomorrow! Turn them in if you got 500 minutes of reading this month!
 

Maple Ridge fifth graders, McKinley Rothlisberger and Ellie Earl, won the Central Utah STEM Fair Outstanding Research Design Award. They were chosen out of all the other 5th and 6th grade projects that were there. We are so proud of these students! Well done!

Maple Ridge fifth graders, Ari Willson and Riley Petersen, won the Central Utah STEM Fair Grand Champion award for Earth Science at BYU. We are so proud of them and their hard work. Way to go, girls!   

Maple Ridge 5th graders recently participated in a wax museum. Students researched and learned about a famous person and wrote a speech about them. They then came dressed as their person and presented their speeches to students and parents. It was very apparent that a lot of work and effort went into this day and we are proud of all our fifth graders and their teachers!

Mrs. Williams' first graders have spent the last few months reading their way through the book series Mercy Watson. Mercy is a “Porcine Wonder” who is adored by almost the entire neighborhood. She loves a good adventure and she especially loves hot, buttered toast. To celebrate finishing the series, their class had a Mercy Watson birthday party complete with none other than…buttered toast.

These Maple Ridge students were our Students of the Month for February. The were recognized for demonstrating optimism. We are so proud of all of them! (Not pictured: Abbie Bartholomew, Emmett Cunningham, Finley Brimhall, Ethan Hannig, Lily Soffe)

Mrs. Mathews' class recently had "Glow in the Dark Math Day" where students reviewed all the math concepts they have learned so far this year!

March is Maple Ridge Reads month! We are halfway through our 500 minute challenge! Remind your students to keep track of their reading to earn a Splash Summit Water Park 1-day ticket to use this summer!

Ms. Harward's class recently had the opportunity to use Ozobots to help them review the multiplication skills that we learned earlier this year. Students were put into partnerships and had to solve various multiplication problems to code their Ozobots. They also got the chance to create their own problems as another way to do the codes. It was a blast!
