Morning Movers

Since 2010, Maple Lake Elementary has been out walking around the playground from 7:45-8:00 every morning. Morning Movers is a program designed to provide more movement opportunities for students throughout the school day. Morning Movers is simple, yet an effective initiative. The rules are:

1. Walk or Jog
2. Stay on the Path
3. No Touching Others.

The benefits of Morning Movers are numerous...

1. It gets the brain going.
2. It is a great way for older students to connect with younger students and it creates a sense of pride and belonging.
3. Students who are active tend to have more focus following the activity.
4. And the list could go on...

Guided Reading Bookbags

Please make sure your child reads the assigned book in his/her bookbag each night. Please note that most of the time students will meet with me about every other day for reading groups. If your child has the same book in his/her bookbag for more than two nights, then just have your child select a book from home to read for enjoyment until your child gets a new book from school. Every night that your child reads at home please initial the yellow reading sheet in your child's bookbag. Students can also read Battle of the Books or library books at home also.
