Our 2nd graders (Mrs. Bradley/Mrs. Mills’ class) had an amazing time with our Media Specialist, Mrs. Morrissette, this morning! They enjoyed an engaging Author Book Talk featuring Aaron Reynolds—the hilarious author of Creepy Carrots!
Aaron shared that he actually disliked reading as a kid and was a bit rambunctious in school, until his 5th-grade teacher read him a book that changed everything. From that moment, he fell in love with stories and eventually became the beloved author we know today.
Next week, our students will step into the shoes of authors and illustrators as they create their own short stories about something ordinary that turns creepy - just like Aaron Reynolds’ Creepy Carrots!
At Maple, our Media Center is more than a place to check out books - it’s where creativity and a love for learning come to life! #withJoy 📚✨
First grade had an amazing time yesterday during their field trip to JZ Farms! #withJoy
The Maple Elementary Penny Wars are going strong — and there are only 8 days left to help your House win! 🎉
Send in loose change for your child to add points to their House jars! Every penny counts — literally!
💰 POINT SYSTEM:
✅ Pennies & bills = ADD points
❌ Nickels, dimes & quarters = SUBTRACT points (use these to sabotage other Houses 😉)
All funds raised will go toward supporting our House system. The winning House will be announced on October 30th, with prizes awarded at the House Lunch! 🏆
🎉 Families, are you looking for something fun to do this Friday on the students’ day off? 🎉
