Maquoketa Community School District

Things are heating up in Mr. Andreasen's kitchen today! Our Culinary Tech 1 students took on the ultimate test of teamwork and precision with a 45-minute "Mystery Lab."
Working in self-selected teams, students had to carefully read a mystery recipe, decipher the directions, gather their ingredients, and bake their treats before the clock ran out.
The secret to success? Focus, teamwork, and strictly following the recipe! True culinary success (and a delicious treat) awaits those who pay close attention to detail... but beware of the chaos if a step gets skipped!
Great job to our student chefs for showing off their skills, communication, and culinary focus today!

4th grade students learning and practicing their standard of subtraction using multiple digits and regrouping.

3rd Graders were rocking their math lesson today utilizing our new math curriculum. Teachers are using high quality instructional materials and engagement strategies such as partner talks and choral responses. Way to go third grade!
