In kindergarten, we are working hard to learn how to write a sentence. We have been working on capital letters, finger spaces, and ending with a period. Our students are great at working hard during writers workshop and love having quiet music to help them concentrate! 

Miss Jacklin’s class has been hard at work this week performing “surgery” when creating contractions from words! They worked on taking two words and making a new shorter word!

Each term Meadow Brook students are rewarded with a fun activity for having good behavior at school. For term 2 Fourth Graders earned Minute To Win It Games. Each student got to participate in a game to help their team be the winner. There was cup stacking, balloon popping, marshmallow throwing, and cookie eating, just to name a few of the events. Fourth Grade teachers love to have fun with our students, especially when we get to celebrate their good choices!

We have been reading the magic tree house book about Ancient Egypt! To go along with all the learning from this book, We studied the habitat of the desert! Each student got to write and draw something that we learned for our poster! 

The speech teachers really enjoy the opportunity to go into the kindergarten classrooms to teach various speech sounds! This week is focused on the “snake sound” or S sound. The students have fun making the sign for this sound by slithering their fingers up their arms like a snake. 

Happy New Year! What are your New Year’s Resolutions? Our third graders have been working hard all week brainstorming ideas for how we can have the best year in 2023! We learned that it’s not good to just say you will complete a goal and hope it will happens, you have to put forth the work and effort to make needed changes every day. We loved creating our “New Year’s Persons” holding our perfectly crafted goal statements. After stating our goals, we said things like, “We know we can accomplish these goals by doing…”, and “I will work hard every day by….”.
