Debbie Wise MCC President 3 “Classroom Insights” Hello Maple Family, th Spring is here and all of us here in the 7 grade class room hope you had a restful and enjoyable spring break and a wonderful Easter! We are now on the “home stretch” of the school year. There are eight weeks of school left and they will be chocked full of many different activities, so as we like to say here at maple, HOLD ON! The most notable activity happening will be state testing. It will be much different this year than in the past mainly in that it will be completed all online. That and it will cover the new Common Core State Standards that have been adopted by California. We have been busy preparing for this all year. Open house, achievement night, walkathon, MotherSon dance, game days, field trips, class parties, th and the 8 grade grad trip will fill up the calendar from now until the end of the school year as well. We must not forget our annual science fair competition. This should be a fun and worthwhile experience for the students participating in it. I know my students are looking forward to it! As we look to the end of the year it is always a good idea to reflect back on the year that was and selfevaluate. It’s good to think about the things that made the year successful and great and selfevaluate on the things that could be improved upon. As we do this it serves as a reminder of just exactly what the things are that have and will continue to make Maple an awesome place to be!
