How to Get Good Ideas 1. Read A Lot! 2. Pay attention to the world around you and soak it up! Listen, look, learn! Make notes of your noticing in a notebook 3. Make time to use my imagination--and do nothing! -What if? #AuthorsAreReallyRevisers Jarrett Lerner Maple Elementary

My virtual 1st graders used Blooket to test their understanding of nouns, verbs, and adjectives this morning!! The engagement and excitement level was through the roof. It’s gonna be a great day of learning here Maple Elementary .

Today we celebrated Mrs. Kathcart & Miss Patty. They operate the heart of our school...the library. Reading boosts our memory, improves our imagination, & gives us a feeling of belonging. These ladies create a welcoming space for Ss & staff to celebrate and grow a literary life.

Our Incoming Kindergarten Family Night was a virtual event this year! We look forward to welcoming families on May 10th for family tours. WELCOME TO THE CLASS OF 2034! #onewarriorheartbeat

Punishments don't intrinsically motivate children to change behavior. Instead, they intimidate children into compliance. Do we want children to behave because they’re scared of punishment & want to please us, or do we want them to behave because they’ve learned a better way?

Maple Elementary has started our yearly kindergarten front porch visits! We are excited to welcome these mighty warriors to school and build strong connections. #journeyonward #warriorscreate #classof2034 🌸𝔻𝕣. ℝ𝕖𝕟𝕒 ℍ𝕒𝕨𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕤🌸 Ashley Doll
