Students at Meadow Brook kicked off Health Week by taking the Veg Pledge. They promised to eat at least one fruit or vegetable each day this week.
During the first week of school Mrs. Simpson's class did team building activities to build community in their classroom. That team building has payed off! We have been working so well together in the classroom and on the playground. Together everyone achieves more!
Mrs. Tew brought in 3 caterpillars and milkweed into Miss Sheets’ class the first week of school. The caterpillars ate, and ate. Soon, they climbed to the top of the cage and hung on by silk and started to make their cocoons. It took ten days for them to become butterflies. Two of the butterflies were girls and one was a boy. One of the girl butterflies was a Queen butterfly and the rest were Monarchs. The queen butterfly has a darker color than the monarch butterflies and more white spots. Did you know that?

PTA will be processing shirt orders on Monday, September 11th. These shirts should arrive by the end of the month. Don't worry if you miss this one, PTA will process another order late October. There are many different items available in our Meadow Brook Store.
Sixth grade students at Meadow Brook Elementary worked hard to build hot air balloons. They were only given 24 pieces of tissue paper, a glue stick, scissors, ruler, pencil, and a notebook to make the balloons with. They were also told that some ideas may not work, but that is how you learn the most.
First, the students formed groups. Our group came up with Sailing Sea theme for our hot air balloon. It was shaped like an upside down water bottle. Each group had to pass off their team’s design to their teacher.
Mrs Peterson's 2nd grade has earned their first class reward! They had a stuffed animal party, where they enjoyed reading to themselves or their fluffy buddy during their read to self time!
