Congratulations to these Maple Ridge students for being our students of the month for March. They were recognized for showing empathy. We are proud of them! (Not pictured: Eion Hunt, Tyler Henderson, Everli Jones, Gracie Dunn, Talmage Deming, Dante Jones)

First graders in Mrs. Williams' class have been learning about fairy tales and fractured fairy tales. They practiced writing their own fractured fairy tales in groups with cards that gave them a character from an existing fairy tale along with a silly setting and problem. They then had to turn it into a fractured fairy tale story and shared them with their classmates.

Enjoy the week off! See you on Monday, April 11th.

Our fifth graders recently held their annual Wax Museum. Students worked hard researching and learning about a famous person and writing about them. They memorized information that they learned about the person that they researched. Parents and Maple Ridge students in other grades were able to walk through the classrooms and listen to the presentations and see their costumes. All the students did an amazing job and we are proud of them for all their hard work!

During Social Studies last week, Ms. Spencer’s second grade class, learned all about financial literacy. They also learned about how the economy meets human needs through the interaction of producers and consumers. Students then became both the producer and consumer. First, they made products of their own choosing. They created items such as: paintings, bookmarks, bracelets, origami, etc. Next, they were given a chance to "shop" at their classmates different "stores.” It's exciting to see them so engaged in their learning!
