Parents,
We want to thank you for coming out for parent-teacher conferences; I know the teachers enjoyed meeting with you.
We want to thank everyone for the generous amount of support given to help students in need at Meadow Brook by participating in our Giving Tree!! We would like to collect these donations by Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.
Mrs. Peterson’s 2nd grade class earned their class reward to meet Mrs Peterson’s dog Quigley! They learned what responsibilities you have when you own a dog, how to approach a dog, and Quigley even showed them a few tricks! Quigley is a pure German Shepherd, and believe it or not, he’s only 1 1/2 years old! He weighs about 80-85 pounds and loves to play with all his new friends in the class!! Oh and he definitely loves to take pictures!
After reading Violet’s music from Journeys, the 2nd graders enjoyed a special guest visit from Mrs. Peterson’s dad, Mr. Murdoch! Mr. Murdoch shared all about his musical experiences growing up. From junior high to high school, playing at Disneyland, and with the University of Utah marching band! Mr. Murdoch also played songs for the 2nd graders including Amazing Grace, Star Wars (definitely a 2nd grade favorite), and Harry Potter! Thank you Mr. Murdoch for you beautiful music, fun stories, and teaching the 2nd graders to always do their best (and to do their homework)!
Congratulations to all of our superhero students for the month of November. They have been caught being kind, working hard, and having a good attitude. We also want to congratulate our superhero staff members this month- Rami George, who works in the cafeteria, and Ali Marshall, our PE teacher. These staff members love the students and know them by name. They work with every student at our school and make every student feel special!
Fun things are happening in 3rd grade!
Bobby Lawrence Karate came to teach a lesson on focus. Each student received a free board breaking lesson.
For fun Friday, 3rd grade enjoyed an engineering challenge with toothpicks and candy corn—Skylar Skouza’s team managed a small pyramid. We enjoyed eating the broken ones! Yummy fun.
The Reflections theme this year was 'Within Reach'. Thank you to all of our Mustangs who participated and shared their talents with us. Congratulations to all who participated and to our winners this year. #meadowbrookmagic
Sign Up for a Smart Art Holiday Gift Making Workshop on December 11th.
Last week, Mrs James’s 6th grade class earned a class party. We voted on a reptile party. Mrs. James’s daughter, Sarah, brought around her big tegu lizard on a leash. He was too heavy for the kids to hold so she just let them pet it. She also brought around a blue-tongued skink. This one was small enough that the kids could hold it. Sarah went around the whole class and let the kids pet it. It was really cool it felt scaly and soft.
