Miss Jacklin’s class has enjoyed learning about money this week! They’ve been working super hard on modeling different amounts of money in multiple ways. We worked with our math partners today to find different ways to show the amount of items they can find at the store!

Ms.

4th grade is enjoying having Mrs. Brockbank at our school. This week she joined our class and taught students how to add sound effects to a story based on the word choice and pictures that the story used. They used drums, clackers, bells, sticks, whistles, and many other instruments to create a variety of sounds. It was great to see the students use their creativity to put their own spin on the story!

Join us on Monday, November 14th at Chic-Fil-A in Spanish Fork from 5-9 p.m! Mention you are there for spirit night and 20% goes to Meadow Brook. 

We love telling stories in speech! We work on using the seven story grammar elements (character, setting, problem, feeling, action, conclusion, end feeling) to get all the parts of our story, using correct grammatical sentence structure, making inferences, answering questions about the story, problem solving, learning vocabulary, etc. There are so many things we learn from stories in the speech room!

Mrs. Brockbank, our district music specialist, came in and taught us how to use music when reading out loud. We practiced dynamics, pitch and tempo. These are great skills to help us with our oral reading fluency. It was so fun!

This week the fourth graders had the opportunity to learn more about the history of the Native Americans and how they have helped shape the way we live today. We had some amazing presenters, and one of them was a student who attends Meadow Brook.  She shared part of her heritage by showing the students a cultural dance. At the end of the presentation, the students were able to learn a song using hand speak. This is a way Native American tribes communicated when they didn’t speak the same language.
