Today, students in Ms. Jordan’s 4th grade class did the Twist-O-Matic challenge. Students were tasked with creating an amusement park ride using rulers, rubber bands, binder clips, and a heavy book. Students shared their predictions on which type of rubber band would work best for the ride, a thin or a thick one, then discussed where the stored energy would come from. Take a look at these Warriors’ hard work! 🎢👏

Warrior Shout-Out: “Anna goes out of her way daily to be kind to each student and staff member as they go through her line. She knows the students by name and is always greets them with a smile. She is patient, kind, understanding and looks out for the best interest of each child. NOW for the good part..... her food is AMAZING. She has to not only deal with the regular school lunches but also has to cater to students that are gluten free or pureed or other dietary needs. My students love the sack lunches she prepares for field trips and look forward to them. I have been in multiple schools throughout my teaching career and Maple (by far) has the best food of any. Teacher's specials are ALWAYS delicious and you can tell she adds all the extras to make each special just what it is called.... SPECIAL. Thank you Anna for going above and beyond every single day!”
