Mrs. Bright (Long)  ~By 4th Grade Roaring Reporter, Haylie Miller Mrs. Long is a teacher here at Maple Grove Elementary. I asked her “How is your first year of Maple Grove Elementary?” She said, “Fantabyoulis.” You can tell by that answer Mrs. Long is very creative and funny. When asked “Where have you been working the last couple of years?”, she said, “Valley Middle School.” I hope she goes back so she can be my teacher in Middle School!   

 When asked, “Where have you gone on vacation?”, she said, “China, Italy, and Sweden.” I want to go to Italy. My last question was “What are your favorite food, color, and place?” She said, “Blackberries, green, and home!” Ha ha, funny again! As you can see Mrs. Long is pretty, and awesome! Thank you Mrs. Long for joining our school!!!:)  

 

Mrs. Hogue, the New Teacher  ~By 4th Grade Roaring Reporter, Keegan Smith  One Monday morning I interviewed Mrs. Hogue. Let me tell you a little about it. Did you know she was a para at a hospital? She also told me a couple of reasons why she loves Maple Grove. She likes the turtle garden and how all the students want to learn so much.   She has a favorite habit, too. Her favorite habit is the same as mine. It’s synergize because everything gets done faster. Did you know she had 

Mrs. Smith as her teacher in first grade? She held a baby chicken in her class as a student. One thing I know for sure is Mrs. Hogue belongs at this school.

    

 

 

 The Lunchroom ~By 4th Grade Roaring Reporter, Cherry Hassler What do you think about the lunchroom behavior? Or what about our 7 habits? Let’s find out!  The first person I interviewed was Hanna. I asked, “What do you think about the three-choice-change on the menu?” She answered, “I think it’s good because if you don’t like something you can choose something else.” I agree 

with Hanna. After that, I interviewed Madison. I asked her, “What do you think of the 4th grade voice level in the cafeteria?” Maddie then said, “Too loud, I could die from it!” I also agree with her we need to be a bit quieter. Next I wanted to include the 7 habits, so I asked Dakota, ”What habit do you think we need to work on as a school?” He replied, “Synergizing because a lot of people don’t synergize when playing stuff.” After that I was wondering what our best habit was, so I asked my good friend Elocin “What do you think is our best habit as a school?” Elocin said, “Sharpen the saw because we make our lives balanced.” I agree. I hope you liked listening to our thoughts, have a nice day! 

 Mrs.Colgate ~By 4th Grade Roaring Reporter, Spencer Reed  Mrs.Colgate is a loving and caring woman and this article will tell you all about her. She works with first graders.   I started out with asking her “what do you like so far?” she said,“I love building relationships with the students and also love being here with my kid”.Next I asked her,”what is one of her favorite places?”She said,”The library because I love to reading.”After that I asked her a very good question,”What do you like about the eight habits?”She said she likes them because they build character.My last question I asked”was”What habit do you use the most?”She said Put first things first.”I think she said habit 3 because she does it a lot. We hope she likes MGE like we like her.   

 

 

 The Watcher 

~By 4th Grade Roaring Reporter, Haylie Miller  

Have you wondered who the new recess teacher is? That’s Brandy! She watches the kids k-5 to make sure they're safe and being fair. 

  I asked Brandy “What’s your favorite part about being a recess teacher?” she said “Going outside watching kids play.” She is very responsible by that answer. When asked “Out of the 8 Habits, Which is your favorite and why?” she said “Habit 3 because work is more important than playing.” When asked “What is your favorite color, food and place?” she said “Pink, chicken, and St. Louis Blues Hockey game.” My last question was “Before you came here, where did you work?” she said “I was a stay at home Mom.”   Now you know Brandy, the caring, responsible, and awesome recess teacher! Thank you for joining our school!!:)

with an individual student. This is so exciting for her! In this 

news article you will learn more about Mrs. Kovac.  

Mrs. Kovac has been teaching for 5 years. Another thing 

about her is she started teaching because she loves to work 

with children and inspire them. One of the questions I asked 

her is, “What is your favorite 7 Habit?” She said, “Sharpen the saw.” I asked her 

“Why?” and her response was, “I like to spend time with my family and be in the 

outdoors.”  

Last but not least, I asked, “Do you like teaching?” She said, “Yes.” I had a great 

time interviewing Mrs. Kovac and learning all the new things about her. If you see her in 

the hallway, make sure to say ”hello.”
