Meadow Brook 4th graders took a trip that was a real "mapping" success

Our instructional coach Susan Jurkatis, is excited to share some of her favorite holiday stories and fun vocabulary activities with the students at Meadow Brook this month. Can you guess what all these book covers have in common?

Computers have been so much fun! The students have earned game days for good behavior and working hard. Kindergarten students have been working hard at learning mouse control and how to navigate games on the computer. They are doing amazing! First graders have been working hard to memorize their usernames and passwords. They are almost ready to pass off logging into their computers without their login cards.

The second grade had a visit from Brenda Beyal, a 30-year veteran teacher and a member of the Navajo Nation. We were so lucky to have her teach us about the history of fry bread. She taught us about the ingenuity required to create the bread from unfamiliar ingredients, showed us the cooking process and recipe, shared a song about fry bread, and topped the presentation off by making fry bread on the lawn of the school. Yum! Yum! Thank you Brenda!

Kindergarten has been learning all about Animals! Last week we went on a ‘safari’ and found different animal coverings. Then we were able to feel different coverings on real animals that we borrowed from the Bean Museum!
