Congrats to Platinum Buckle Winners

Submitted by lena.bird on Fri, 05/26/2017 - 14:33

Students at Meadow Brook have been working hard all year to earn their 'Buckles'.  They do this by passing off their own grade level's fast facts tests.  At the beginning of the year, Mr. Pitcher made students a promise- any student who earned their Platinum Buckle would be entered into a drawing for a Cowboy Pitcher Big Cowboy Hat.  Today Mr. Pitcher made good on his promise.  Our winners received their hat today, but we want to congratulate all Mustangs who earned their Platinum Buckle and remind you all to keep working on those fast facts!

Renaissance Fair

Submitted by lena.bird on Tue, 05/23/2017 - 08:15

For the past couple of weeks the sixth graders have been studying the Renaissance.  Each sixth grader chose a character that was influential during the Renaissance to study in depth and dress up as for the Renaissance Fair.  The students looked great in their costumes, delivered fantastic speeches, and entertained with their period dances.  Way to go sixth graders!

As part of our unit on maps and globes, second grade students sent Flat Stanley to relatives and friends all over the world.  We had so much fun reading all about Flat Stanley's adventures as he returned to the school over the last month.  Flat Stanley visited 25 of the 50 states in the United States.  He also visited Mexico, Brazil, El Salvador, Canada, New Zealand, France, Austria, Kuwait, and India.
