PICTURES



TWINS

Remember the twin pictures from last year? Well here is the first one provided to us this school year. Mrs. Murphy and one of the Discovery students were definitely “twinning” from top to bottom on Monday! Bonus points for their Raider Pride Blue & White! Submitted by Ms. Brown.




NAVIGATORS PreK - EMMONS

Our group is learning about farms.  Today we milked a cow that Miss Tara made. 11-2-2020. Her name is Daisy. We learned all about Daisy and what her utters are used for. Then we practiced milking Daisy with Farmer Danielle. The kids loved it.  :) Miss Tara  Link to 11 Pictures




RENAISSANCE LITERATURE - ALLEN

This group of green-group students analyzed the book, Refugee, with guidance from Mr. Allen. 10-30-2020. They learned about geography, history and human behavior through the stories of the three main characters at different points in the last century. Link to 18 Pictures




RENAISSANCE STUDY OF GOVERNMENT - LOVELETTE AND JETTER

7th and 8th graders learned about the different branches of government with Mr. Lovelette and Mr. Jetter. The two teachers took turns leading the discussion from across the large room. The sliding partition between the classroom spaces had been opened for the dual instruction period. The discussion was particularly relevant as we approach election day on November 3rd.  Link to 13 Pictures




EXPLORERS VOLLEY(BALLOON)BALL - WIGHT

Ms. Wight led Ms. Dedios’ students through a PE lesson in basic volleyball skills. The indoor lesson was necessitated by the cold weather outside. 10-29-2020.  Link to 8 Pictures.




DREAMERS PRE-K - LEBLANC

This group was well distanced from each other as they sat down to happily eat their meals on Friday. 10-30-2020. Link to 18 Pictures.

YEARBOOK COVER ART WANTED


Hello 8th Graders and other artists.  The yearbook committee is starting to put together the 2021 yearbook and we are asking for your help. A cover design for the yearbook is needed by Friday, November 10th. If you have creative ideas and original artwork to share with us, then let us know right away. We want the blue and white school colors to be used for the artwork. The back cover should also use the school colors. There should be room on the front cover somewhere for a title and date, and on the back there should be room for a quote. 


We welcome inspiring quotes even if you don’t want to submit artwork.


These are cover samples from recent yearbooks. Yours submission may look completely different.


Thank you for the help and if you have any questions, or are looking to submit cover art or a quote, then please contact Molly Clark at mlclark@maplerun.org or Mr. Craib at mcraib@maplerun.org



HELP AND ADVICE FOR FAMILIES


Nov 12th. Digital Safety Tips and Tricks:

Increased access to technology and the internet provides amazing opportunities for students to learn and connect, and it also requires the school and families to work together to keep students safe.  In this practical session led by teachers (who are also parents!), we will share some great digital safety resources and strategies.



DRAMA


Scripts from last Spring’s play, that was canceled due to the shift to remote learning, need to be returned to Ms. Hartman as soon as possible. Thank you.  mhartman@maplerun.org
