RC-Kids at Maple Grove
Olympic hopeful visits Maple Grove!
Our 5th graders have been learning about the National Dairy Industry in their argument reading unit. Marvin Kimble’s Got Milk ads and commercials were shared with the kids as they learned about raising new questions and ideas in their non-fiction reading.
One of our area’s own Team USA 2020 Olympic hopeful members, Marvin Kimble, came to Maple Grove on Wednesday, February 28, 2018. He talked to the kids about the importance of reading, hard work, and showed them many skills he has learned. He then read them a Dr. Seuss book, Oh, The Places You Will Go, in honor of our Dr. Seuss week at school.
Coin Drive: March 12-16th!
Maple Grove is having our annual coin drive the week of March 12-16th. The first $500 will be donated to the Wisconsin Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Any money after the first $500 raised will go toward our “Wish List” here at Maple Grove. There is a penny collecting box to build for the students to use for collecting “at home.” Look for this coming home today!
Each class will be competing against each other to raise the most “points” and there will be a prize for the top class! The class that has the most points will get a Pizza Party!
The rules are:
- Each class will receive 1 point for each penny and 100 points for each paper dollar.
- Each class will receive negative points (subtracted) out of their point total for silver coins according to their value (nickels -5, dimes -10 points, quarters -25 points).
- The goal is to gain the most points by adding paper money and pennies to your class’ jar and “sabotaging” the leading classes so that they fall behind and your class can jump ahead of them.
- The class with the most points at the end of the drive (Friday March 16th) will win the prizes: 1st place (pizza party & extra recess), 2nd place (popsicle party & extra recess, 3rd place (extra recess)
The coin collection jars will be held in the atrium every morning for the week and the money can be deposited before school until 8:45. The students will be able to see the money in the jars grow (or shrink with silver coins).
Thanks for Your Support,
2017-18 Maple Grove Student Council
