ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR MONDAY, MAY 11th

STUDENT PLACEMENT INPUT FORMS On Tuesday, May 5th, we mailed placement input forms to families of students in kindergarten going into first grade, third grade going into fourth grade, and sixth grade going into seventh grade. We included a stamped self-addressed envelope so that it will be convenient for families to get them back to us. We are hoping to have them back by Monday the 11th.

PICTURES FROM FAMILIES AND FROM SCHOOL YOUTUBE PUPPET SHOW CHANNEL CREATED BY A DISCOVERY STUDENT While this Discovery student has plenty of school work to keep him busy, he has still managed to find the time to beat the Corona Blues by making puppet shows in hopes of cheering up others. He hopes that some of his shows might bring a smile to someone from the St. Albans City School Community. LINK TO HIS CHANNEL VOYAGERS STUDENT SHOWS GRASP OF PROPORTION WITH SOLAR SYSTEM This 6th Grade student knows that while his modeling isn’t three dimensional it still showcases our solar system distances and planet and sun sizes effectively. When you watch it, you will see that he really figured out how to make his math understandable to viewers. Really impressive! A quick note: He is a prolific video maker and has his own youtube channel with nearly a 100 subscribers. LINK TO VIDEO RAIDER Raider has been keeping active. In the first picture, he is riding a swing. In the second picture Raider is shown in a tree he just climbed up. STUDENT-MADE RICE CRISPY TREAT VIDEO This recipe and demonstration video is presented by a Travelers student. It takes less than 3 minutes to watch it and if you like sweet treats, you will find it worth doing so. LINK TO VIDEO 8th GRADER PICTURES We dug through the picture archives and found some old pictures of some of our 8th Graders. It is cool to see how much they have all grown up in the intervening years.  Students from the 8th-grade class should feel free to contact Mr. Craib to request he find pictures of 8th graders that have yet to be featured here in this blast-from-the-past section of the announcements. mcraib@maplerun.org SPIRIT WEEK PICTURE For Friday the focus was Favorite essential worker.
