Meadow Brook's October Olympic event focused on improving behavior in specialty classes. Many classes received a gold medal for getting high marks all month long in their specialty classes. Each specialty teacher picked a student from every class that exemplified being hard working, responsible, kind, and honest. Congrats to our Mighty Mustangs for doing such a great job in the Month of October. November's Olympic event is focused on improving lunchroom behavior.

Mrs. Taylor’s class is learning about the states of matter with a snowman experiment!

PE has been so much fun lately that it’s scary! We’ve been working really hard on our Halloween dance for the Halloween parade. The kids are so excited to perform what they’ve learned. We’ve been perfecting the dance while also making sure that we still leave time to play fun games using our imaginations as well as our muscles. We’ve Had a blast being ninja turtles in a fun ninja turtle game, fun Halloween themed yoga and an expanded cornhole type game. Keeping active and always having fun! 

Yesterday we wrote our writing drafts about what we did this summer. For example, I went on a cruise, Maddie went to sea world and swam with dolphins, Jayden went jet skiing and swimming, Seth went to California and went to the beach and went to a lot of resorts and went to Las Vegas. I hope everyone had fun doing these activities. I am glad we wrote about this so they will remember what we did this summer.

In Miss Almanza’s class we are dedicated to our work and are always working hard! This week we accomplished our goal and we received another classroom party! As a class we love working together on our goals and we most certainly love classroom parties! We enjoyed showing off collections, pets, trophies, and more!

Yesterday Mr. Lewis, our school counselor, taught us the importance of critical thinking when making decisions. Then we leaned a math game where we had to use critical thinking to find the answer. The students really enjoyed it! 

Last week, students in Mrs. Clare's third grade class engaged in an Art lesson where they learned how to create self-portraits with chalk pastels. During the lesson, students learned about the famous artist, Amedeo Modigliani, and his technique for taking normal face proportions and stretching them out.
