Ms. Szutkowski's students are taking their learning into the wild, soaking up the sun (and knowledge) in our outdoor classroom. Amidst planning and writing essays, we were serendaded by the sweet melodies of birdsong and stopped intermittently to identify the calls and add them to our "birdwatch" list. 🐦⬛🍃
Ms. Etten’s first grade class at Maple Grove Charter School studies everything birds in the Spring! Everything from birds amazing bodies to caring for birds. Many of these expeditions take us outside filling the feeders, making feeders out of recycled materials, providing dog fur for birds to add to their nests, or looking at different feathers and bones. There are so many first time experiences and memories that come with this time of year at MGCS. When thinking of Spring and Easter, it was a perfect opportunity to make the learning applicable in a number of hands on activities!
Learners achieved the ability to describe how egg shells absorb natural color as well as the anatomy of a hen egg following a dissection! Color variations were a result of different amounts of time as well as dye potency. Different jobs required someone to monitor the time, change the natural dyes, and make scientific conclusions. The dissection of the hen egg taught the different parts of the egg including the membrane, chalaza, albumen, yolk, and egg white. We are feeling educated and ready to start our incubating of this years baby chicks!🐥🐣

What a fun and educational day Maple Grove's 4th grade students had at Council Grounds State Park recently. Our experience was led by Sandy Benton who taught us all about energy. A few experiments were conducted where we learned about the difference in potential and kinetic energy. We then met with a crew from Wisconsin Public Service and were given a tour of the dam. We were taught alot but also given the opportunity to ask many great questions. Thank you to Sandy and WPS for this special opportunity!

Our littlest foxes at MGCS sported huge smiles while "sensing the forest" last week.
Reviewing our five senses is always enjoyable outdoors, but fresh snow only added to the experience! ❄️
March has been all about maple syrup for the 4th grade foxes at Maple Grove! A big thank you to those who helped us tap our trees, as well as Mrs. Hanson's family who helps with turning our sap into syrup! We have enjoyed taste testing and comparing different types of syrup as well as enjoying syrup with French toast sticks and ice cream. Our sap collecting helps us to work on our team work and perseverance!
Come join us for some delicious pancakes and some great raffles!
During Read Across America Week, learners that met January reading goals were able to celebrate their accomplishments by playing games! The games brought laughter, collaboration, and CRISP traits in recognizing these reading foxes 🦊 Goals are set by learners with their classroom teachers and it is amazing to see so many learners having the excitement for reading! Read Across America week reignited the fire for so many learners to continue to do their best and persevere these next months of the school year😄📚
