On Tuesday night there was a Mega Band Concert at MMHS featuring the students at Maple Grove Middle School. The amazing band conductors all work at Maple Grove and include MiKae Osborn - Brass, Josh Hurst - Woodwinds and Preston Gilbert - Percussion. It was a fun music-filled evening for the more than 200 band students and their parents. Well-done!
Haley Hales' classes have been practicing science and engineering skills by building balloon car racers and testing which type of wheels work best. The final event was a tournament to see which team could cross the finish line first!
The PE classes had a lot of fun playing GaGa ball this week. Games were super intense and full of a lot of energy. Students also got more of a workout than they expected and would have loved to have played it for the next several weeks in a row, but the teachers have other great plans in store!
Students at Maple Grove get to attend pod parties. Dennis Park's Palm Pod had a celebration for getting all the assignments for first term turned in. This is Mr. Park and his pod at their first term celebration!
Mallory Ross' students got to go on a field trip last Friday to the BYU Paleontology Museum. The museum had lots of cool fossils, even a few that students were able to touch! Then, the students got to watch the paleontologists clean off some of the fossils that they have been working on in the lab. We are posing for the picture in front of their huge Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was so much fun!
Seventh grade students in the Juniper and Cedar pods have been working hard on various projects during Flex time. This week, students get to show off what they have been working on and what they learned about their topics. Flex has been a great opportunity for students to extend their learning by conducting research about various topics, creating playlists for their favorite books, or working on cool skills like coding!
