This week, third graders were able to visit the Payson Theatre to watch Santa Clause 2! Each student got a drink, popcorn, and some fun with friends! The students earned this activity through showing acts of kindness to their fellow classmates. The students worked hard and their hard work paid off. We would like to thank Mr. Haslam for making this field trip possible for us! What a great way to celebrate the Holiday season. We had lots of fun! 

Second Grade had a Christmas Around the World day! Students spent time in each classroom to learn about different cultures, countries, and holiday traditions. Students were given 'passports' and 'traveled' from country to country. Our classroom transported students to Holland where we made wooden shoes for Sinterklaas to fill with goodies. Hooray!

Meadow Brook celebrated Mighty Mustangs on Friday! We have incredible and dedicated staff members. We are so proud. We would like to congratulate Karla Craner, Ashley Porter, Jessica Goff, and Alicia Delgado. Each of the work incredibly hard at their craft and do what is best for students. Students love and adore them. Each of them things about what is best for students. We are so thankful for our Mighty Mustangs! 

Our little learners in kindergarten are working hard to learn all their capital and lower case letters, sounds, and numbers 1-20 by Christmas. We celebrate them when they pass off each goal by adding their names to our classroom "wall of fame" and officially induct them into our letters, sounds, or numbers club. It can be a lot of work, but they are highly motivated and excited when they accomplish this goal! We are so proud of them and we are excited to keep adding more little learners to our club. We love our kinders! 

First Grade made bracelets with beads to represent the Thanksgiving Story. We learned a lot and had fun. This is Mrs. Oman’s class showing the story and bracelets. 

For the last 2 years the resource teachers all over the district have been learning about Multi-sensory math and the 5 math superpowers. The first math superpower is  to know how to do is to be able to recognize number patterns without counting. This skill is called subitizing. Students who can look for and find patterns will have so much of an advantage as they go into the later grades if they have this skill. They will be able to do math in their heads more easily.

As a Thanksgiving activity out staff participated in their annual “Turkey Hunt”. Turkeys are placed all over the school for school teams to find. The hunt was on! Congratulations to our SPED team for being the winners! 

There’s nothing like earning a reward for good behavior! Mr. Adams class is celebrating students and their great behavior in specailties with a class party!

This month for our art travels we went to the Asian continent. Fifth grade went to China and learned about Ming Vases, students worked hard on making these beautiful blue and white vase drawings in hopes they will be worth millions like the real things.
