It was a fun and exciting day at MGCS Field day last Thursday! We used our creative chalk skills to write and draw inspirational messages! We had hula hoop races, water balloon toss, water relays, and a donut challenge. A big shout out to the Dugout for the use of their dunk tank and to the Athens Fire Department for supplying the water!The kids and staff had fun dunking Mr Bloch, Mrs. Zondlo, Ms Etten, and Mrs. Hanson. Another shout out goes out to Aschbrenner Enterprise for the bounce house, the kids had a blast in it! It was a great way to wrap up the 2022-2023 school year!

It was a beautiful day as fifth grade learners from MGCS continued their studies of water ecology at Camp Birch Trails. Mr. Noland and friends taught learners the finer points of paddling and safety on the water before heading out to explore the lake. Everyone stayed nice and dry except for Ms. Szutkowski, who tipped her kayak when reaching too far for a turtle. 🐢

Third graders at Maple Grove Charter School have been learning about the three different dilemmas of water: access, demand and pollution. They were able to connect this learning to a field trip to Wausau's Wastewater Treatment Center and to the Mead Wildlife Refuge Area. This experience showed them how humans can clean wastewater through complex systems versus how plants within a wetland area can filter in more natural ways.

On Friday we celebrated our FIRED 🔥 UP TO READ Assembly! All semester the Hamburg and Corning Volunteer fire department and EMS donate their time to come and read with our Maple Grove Charter School learners on Wednesdays all semester! Throughout the entire year all learners set their own monthly reading goal and work at home to achieve that goal. The fire department then awarded all the learners who met at least 7/8 months goals with a bike giveaway, a fire truck ride 🚒 around Hamburg to 6 lucky winners, and a pizza party 🍕 It was such an exciting day! A HUGE THANK YOU to the Hamburg and Corning Fire Department and EMS for your dedication to the community and MGCS!

Third graders at Maple Grove Charter School used their CRISP trait's classroom economy money to purchase a camping themed day. Students used headlamps to complete their cursive writing. They also used their camp chairs and hammocks outside to do their independent reading and vocabulary logs. For lab experiences, they found outdoor spaces to research aquatic birds in their WI Bird Field Guides. To top it off, they had smores' for dessert while viewing a mock and virtual campfire.

On Friday, May 12th, the 1st grade class continued a tradition that began in 1970. The 53rd annual 1st grade Mother’s Day pancake breakfast was a day to once again reflect upon with gratitude, happiness, and honor. The morning was filled with poems presented by the first graders, music performed with the wonderful instruction of Mrs. Matz, art work displayed to completely transform the room, and last but not least an overall focus on acknowledging the mothers and family members that do so much everyday for our learners emotional and academic growth. I can not say thank you enough to everyone who worked together to make the day special! As the first grade teacher, I look forward to carrying on this tradition for many years to come. Thank you Bryan Bloch, Lynette, and Tari Williams for cooking and the Maple Grove staff for always offering to help☺️ all 96 learners grades k-5 had a part in making a placemat to set the table! With the excitement of Friday being as a closing to the maple syrup season, learners were proud to share their reflection books on the process of making maple syrup. From the very first step of marking the maple trees back in the fall when the leaves were changing, to the adding of labels once it was cooked and bottled. We have done it all 🍁🍎🙂😊 Watching the students come together to do all the steps makes the “liquid gold” that much more enjoyable served over fluffy pancakes at the Mother”s Day breakfast! Until next year! Ms. Etten and the 1st grade🍎

This week, MGCS second grade learners visited Merrill School forest for a field trip centered around erosion. In the morning, learners experimented with different soils and surfaces to see which best prevented erosion. They were then tasked with building an environment that would withstand high-force winds (Mr. Noland's leaf blower) and a 100-year flood (Mr. Noland's 5-gallon bucket). It was an adventurous day!

At MGCS, fifth grade learners collaborated to build stream tables. They then took the stream tables outside, created a bucket siphon, and observed what would happen to land in different conditions.
