Meadow Brook Sixth Graders Travel to New Worlds

Submitted by lena.bird on

After learning about heat transfer, seasonal change, and the long-term effects of decreasing temperature on plant and animal life, sixth graders at Meadow Brook Elementary were ready to put their knowledge to good use. They boarded space ships at the Christa McAuliffe Space Center and were soon on their way to save the Enooks, an alien race on a distant planet. It took a lot of teamwork, quick thinking, and precise communication, but the students were finally able to complete their mission and return to earth. “This was one of my favorite field trips ever!

Mustangs Are Learning Habit 5

Submitted by lena.bird on

 For January, Meadow Brook students will be learning about Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood. This habit teaches students to listen to others without interrupting or blurting out.  They try to understand the other person's point of view, even if it is different from their own.  If you would like to encourage Habit 5 in the home, you can play a game of Simon Says or Telephone and talk about the importance of listening.  You can also have your student look around the home or neighborhood and find someone they

Second graders in Mrs. Bird's class put on their working gloves today and happily helped Mr. Johnson clean up the cafeteria after lunch.  It was a big and messy job, but with 26 pairs of helping hands, the work went fast!  Mr. Johnson and Mr. Grotegut do so much for our school, we wanted to pay them back so we decided to do something nice for them.  Merry Christmas Mr. Johnson!!

Habit 4: Think Win Win

Submitted by lena.bird on

For December, Meadow Brook students finished out Red Ribbon Week by learning about Habit 4: Think Win-Win.  They watched an inspiring Olympic video that represented a Win-Win attitude.  The students learned that to think win-win means to make the best of any situation.  We do our best to reach our potential and we help others to reach their potential, too.  A win-win person doesn’t just think about what they want, they think of other’s needs too.  They think of ways to make everyone happy.  If you would like to encourage Habit 4 in the home, you can have
