Second grade students have enjoyed learning about the culture and traditions of Christmas and other holidays around the world! Students were able to rotate through all of the 2nd grade teachers who each taught them something new. 

Mrs. Wilde's first graders practiced composing and decomposing shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows this month!

Second graders in Mrs. Berbert’s class put their coding skills to use this past week with the Code and Go Mice. First, they worked in teams to figure out which buttons coded which actions. Then, they built mazes and figured out which coding sequences they could use to solve their mazes.

Maple Ridge 4th graders in Mrs. Olson's class reviewed finding the area and perimeter of different shapes with Cheez-Its this month! Fourth graders are awesome!

The BYU Ballroom dance team recently put on a show for the Maple Ridge 4th graders. It was a wonderful experience for the students to see these world traveling dancers share their talents.

Maple Ridge students have enjoyed several holiday concerts this month! We listened to the MJHS band and orchestra, the MMHS choir, and our own school choir performed. It has been great to hear such beautiful music to help get us in the holiday spirit! 

Don't forget to bring your spare change! All proceeds go to the Utah Food and Care Coalition.

These students were our Maple Ridge Students of the Month for November. They were recognized for being nice! We are so proud of them and grateful for their good examples! (Not pictured: Willow Berlin, Olive Williams, Cohen Clayson, Sloan Swanson, Katlyn Thorpe, Demi Taylor, Juliet Skinner)

Mrs. Rasmussen's 3rd grade class used their STEM skills to construct a Christmas Tree with just toothpicks and Dots candy!  It was exciting to use collaborative thinking and working skills to construct a tasty tree.

These students participated in the PTA Reflections Contest at the School Level and then their entries went on to win at the Council Level as well! We are so proud of them! Two of our students received an Award of Merit: Riley Peterson for 2D artwork and Max Dimond for film. The following students won an Award of Excellence and have advanced to the Region Level of competition: David Higginson for 3D art, Emmy Sonntag for Photography, Kelly Trudeau, Lincoln Olson, and Victoria Carlson for Dance, and Holland Hassan and Reese Petersen for 2D art.
