Meadow Brook got to meet some amazing and unique individuals. We met Miss Springville/mapleton, Addie Kiesel. She focuses on helping others see their unique talents. We also got to meet Caralyn Buehner, author of Dex, heart of a hero! Her husband is the illustrator for her books. We enjoyed hearing their stories and were inspired by their hard work and dedication.
This month Mrs. Glenn’s class has been focusing on finding kind things that others are doing! When they see someone being kind, they can write what they saw on a shamrock and we display all the kind acts on our door! We have almost filled the whole door in the first week!! Way to be Mustangs!!
We have had so much reading this week! On Thursday, March 3rd, Ms. Oberg's class got the chance to go outside and read in the fresh air with the rest of the second grade. We also got to eat popcorn while we read. It was a blast!
Meadow Brook students got to zoom with New York Times best selling author, Jessica Day George and Jennifer Nielsen! Students were inspired by their stories. Students got to ask them questions about becoming best selling authors. On behalf of Meadow Brook Elementary, thank you! You have truly inspired our students and families!
We are so excited to share the joy of reading with you and your child! Below are images of the baskets and the link to bid on them. Thanks for helping us earn funds to build our small group instruction library and technology. We appreciate YOU!!

Some students have moved throughout the year and have stayed in touch with their Meadow Brook family. Each has their own stories and each are unique. We have missed them and they will always be mustangs!
Mrs. Delgado's kindergarten class enjoys frequent guest teachers in our classroom. This week we had one of our favorites-- district math specialist Todd Bradford. He helped us learn about combining numbers with simple math story problems. Our little learners used math tools like manipulatives and white boards to show our fantastic work and what we are learning.
The annual school reading round up Fundraiser is beginning! Over the weekend students may get their pledges! This will raise money to get students more books and technology in our school! Students will be sent home a packet to gather pledges for their minutes. Students may only ask family members and people they trust. A sponsor can donate a flat amount or they can donate an amount for minutes read! For example if a student read for ten cents a minute and read 250 minutes you would owe $25 dollars. Then students may begin reading!
Ms. Owen's class has been learning about similes and metaphors and looking for them in the books they read! Every time a student finds a simile or a metaphor in a book, they write it down on a post-it note and add it to our wall of figurative language. Every day they find so many more, and our wall is getting filled with similes and metaphors!
