#MGMS

Students (and teachers) are crazy for GaGa Ball.  It is the intramural sport of the month!  It will be held at The Grove each Wednesday after school for the month of February!  

The Dance 1 classes were playing Jacks as they worked on their fine motor skills!  So much fun!  

Maple Grove had its first science fair this year.  First place was Brayden Barney. Second place was Isabella Heier and third place went to Taelynn Zobell.  Four students also received honorable mention:  Kason Broderick, Cora Madsen, Ben Forsey, and Evangeline Hammer!  Congratulations to the winners!

Lilia Shaw completed reading all 20 Battle of the Books titles!  That's amazing!

A big THANK YOU to all of you who were able to come to our school's first ever PTA Family Activity Night last Thursday.  It was truly magical!  Our amazing magician, Jason Fun, not only entertained us with a great magic show, but also fascinated everyone with some of the secrets (science, math, technology, engineering) behind a few of his tricks.  Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening happen. We look forward to more fun MGMS family activity nights in the future!!

Angela Jenkins' class is doing a novel study of the book A Long Walk to Water and learning the amazing survival story of a real-life refugee!   The students in her class love this book!  

Students in Hannah Nelson's class used a scroll of adding machine paper to try and predict how close the planets in the solar system are (or are not).  Then the students folded the paper to reveal the actual scale model.  The students were SHOCKED at just how close the inner planets were.  

Katie Miller's class learned about the scale of the solar system by creating the planets.  Clark Planetarium also joined Mrs. Miller's class to discuss the scale of the solar system and the students learned distance of the planets based on their size and hung them in the halls of Maple Grove Middle School
