Every week students are exploring a variety of academics, technology, and the arts. Please enjoy some of our favorite traditions and new traditions happening at Park Maitland School.

1st graders and Super Seniors met again this month for a special JFF event, "Let's Play". Students bonded in a fun-filled day of games with friends playing Duck, Duck, Goose, four-square, and a game of tag.

Super Senior Games 2020-2021 launched on Monday. An annual tradition, sixth grade students cheered for Round 1 as the Park Maitland teachers vs. the Super Seniors played a game of cricket. With a score of 29 over 26, the teachers won round 1.

For Round 2, the Park Maitland Teachers vs Super Seniors enjoyed a competitive game of soccer on Wednesday. Students cheered as the Super Seniors won this round, 4-0!

3rd Graders took their learning to a new level this past month in Reading with creating "Live Biography Posters". The process started with students choosing a Who Was biography to read, record notes on key events, then read a second digital resource for more information. Their draft writing in first person narrative came next as they followed an outline of categories, and students practiced keyboarding for their final print out. Poster presentations were done with fabulous creativity to captivate their audience! Kudos to our 3rd Grade Readers! ~ Ms. Commins

This week Ms. Talbert has been reading, The Story of the Mexican Jumping Bean by Adriana Montemayor Ivy.

In Ms. Talbert's classes, students are learning about Fairy Tales and how to tell if a story is a Fairy tale or not. Although this story does have talking animals, it is not a Fairy Tale. Third grade students got to observe the jumping beans and even got to hold one themselves.

There is a little "worm" inside the little seed that will eventually turn into a moth!! ~Talbert
