Most of you are likely aware that the Utah Legislature recently passed a law that effectively ends the face mask mandate in Utah on April 10. However, you may not be aware that the “the mask requirements for K-12 schools REMAINS IN PLACE until June 15. Additionally, local officials, like a school board, do NOT have legal authority to end the school mask requirement before this date.”
Exciting things are happening in Computers! We have been learning how to code for the last 8 weeks. The First and Second Graders have used Fuzzies to help learn how to code in Kodable the next week we became a monkey collecting bananas in Code Monkey. We also had a water balloon fight in Code Spark Academy. Breathe a sigh of relief, no one got soaked!

We have been working on becoming pros with decimals! This week the students worked together to represent decimals in many different ways. I love their team work and collaboration! Go Mrs. Simpson’s fourth graders!
We have been learning about many different cultures throughout the school year. We love learning from all of our guests about the cultures that they have lived in and all of the different traditions that they have.
2nd grade used their engineering skills to try to protect their sand castles by building barriers that could withstand weathering and erosion!
PE has been fun this moth. It’s warming up so we’ve been able to enjoy some time outdoors. We’ve been staying active with fun Star Wars games, ninja turtles, kick ball and having fun working on some jump rope, hula hoop and basketball skills. The kids are been so great and enthusiastic about all the games and learning to work together as a team, be supportive to one another and most importantly having fun. I feel so luck to be surrounded by such amazing kiddos that teach me just as much if not more than I teach them. Meadow Brook is such a great place with such a great community.
Sixth grade students have been learning about the terracotta army of soldiers that was unearthed in 1974 in China. Students have been able to read and write about this discovery from ancient China. Today, students created their own terracotta soldiers out of clay! They are excited to add paint to them next week. The original terracotta soldiers were painted in beautiful colors but the paint flaked off as soon as it was exposed to air - hopefully our soldiers won't meet the same fate!
