This week in music we reviewed how to play our boomwhackers. The kids had fun creating new rhythms and creating the harmonies they heard. This is also in prep for our Start Wars light saber duels next week!
Meadow Brook students and teachers came together to celebrate the foundational document of our nation.
Kindergarten has hit the ground running! These kiddos brains are soaking up all the things, including shapes. Lots and lots of 2D shapes!
They have learned how to determine which shape is which by it’s number of sides and corners. From a circle to a hexagon, they have got it nailed.
To apply it to the real world, our friends brought in pictures and items of shapes they see in our every day. They helped each other sort their shapes, and then worked as a class to check each shape category for accuracy.
Hooray for 2D shapes! Next up, 3D!
Teachers and staff at Meadow Brook Elementary met together all day on Monday to dive deep into Literacy and Math data. When collected and analyzed thoughtfully, this data can provide invaluable insights into student performance, identifying areas where improvement is needed, and helping to tailor instructional strategies accordingly. Our goal is to have proficient readers and mathematicians in all grade levels.
Meadow Brook Elementary is fortunate to have the dedicated and efficient duo of Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Graves serving as our school secretaries. These two remarkable individuals are the heartbeat of our institution, always greeting students, parents, and staff with warm smiles and a willingness to assist. Mrs. Graves organizational prowess ensures that everything runs seamlessly, while Mrs. Porters friendly demeanor makes her the go-to person for anyone seeking information or assistance.
Meadow Brooks Wellness Room serves as a sanctuary within our school environment, offering a safe and nurturing space for young students to address their physical and emotional well-being. This dedicated room is thoughtfully designed to provide a range of essential resources, such as cozy seating, calming decor, and age-appropriate mindfulness activities, which empower children to manage stress, anxiety, or emotional challenges effectively.
The preschool students are learning about the K sound in their speech group lessons this week. They listen to a story full of this sound, then each get a turn to pick a “cow spot” and practice the word on it, then stick the spot to the cow. There have been a lot of good K sounds coming from these students!
This year our school’s theme is “Elevate.”One way our fourth graders have helped elevate others in the school is by creating “Elevation Trail.” As people walk down the fourth grade hallway, they can read the positive messages written on the rocks and be uplifted. Our fourth graders had a fantastic time creating these elevation rocks and did a great job!
Be careful of the fire breathing dragons that you will find created by the dragon Masters in the ACC room.
As the new school year began, Ms. Thomas’s students took time to create a powerful class motto together. We created our motto based on how we show respect to ourselves, others, and our school. Brainstorming ideas was fun and we are so proud of the phrases we came up with together! We will state our motto daily and try to live closely by it this year! Here’s to an amazing successful year!
