We have been having a great time in PE. We’ve been focusing on throwing skills, Rhythm and the importance of team work. We have had a blast playing star wars dodgeball (always a favorite game) we worked on rhythm and movement by doing a drums alive type activity. And a fun game of jungle cruise that emphasizes the importance of team work. I really try to make PE a fun class with an activity that the kids enjoy, laugh and have fun doing without really realizing they’re learning an important skill and exercising at the same time.

Birthday spotlights in Mrs. Taylor’s class have become a special time for students to get to know each other even more! We love a day of celebration!

Mr. Haslam’s class has been working on a Martin Luther King writing and art assignment. The kids got to learn about all of the great things Dr. King taught us. Then the kids got to write about what they have learned and then they got to do and art assignment of Dr. King. This has been Mr. Haslam’s favorite assignments he has been able to teach. 

Meadow Brook Elementary has a group of dedicated, hardworking, thoughtful, heroes who do not wear capes. These heroes give students what they need on a daily basis. We are so appreciative of our incredible lunch working staff. Thank you for all you do and for the love you put into the work on a daily basis. Thank you for giving everything you have on days you are understaffed. It does not go unnoticed. 

This week in library we read the true story, Pierre the Penguin, by Jean Marzollo. Pierre was an African Penguin who lived in a penguin colony at a California museum. One day he got sick and started losing all his feathers, and nothing seemed to help. Pierre was shunned from his colony and stranded on dry land, until his caretakers came up with an ingenious solution to help him get back in the water and on the road to recovery.

2nd grade enjoyed their end term party with good behavior! They played games with friends and had a great time! We love our 2nd grade mustangs! Keep up the great work!

Our class mission statement says many positive things. "We are the BEST class" is so true. We get along pretty well. We have fun on the playground. We help each other in math, reading, writing, science, and social studies. On the playground some play tag, others like baseball, basketball, or football, and many just like to visit, draw or play wall ball. 

3rd graders have been exploring and learning about fractions since we’ve been back from the break. They have discovered how, as the denominator gets bigger, the size of the pieces of the whole get smaller. We’ve also explored comparing fractions and equivalent fractions as well!  Way to go Mustangs!!
