Third Grade Field Trip
Last week the 3rd graders got to go on a field trip to Bridal Veil Falls on a nature walk! Students got to collect things along the way that were interesting to them. The 3rd graders had a blast and found some pretty awesome stuff!
Hats Matter
In 2nd grade we are learning the properties of matter. Sometimes matter is soft, stiff, or water absorbent. Our students were ‘stranded on an island’ and needed to make a hat that could absorb sweat and keep the sun off. But they only had the packaging from their lunch. Paper towels to absorb the sweat. More stuff material for the shade. They did an awesome job!
Forces of Motion
This week kindergarteners are getting an introduction to forces and motions talking about terms like push and pull. A science outreach program called Discovery Gateway came to Meadow Brook to teach more about this concept. Students were able to investigate and demonstrate their learning by doing hands on activities.
The Three Billy Goats Gruff
First grade was introduced to the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We talked about the setting and made a map of the setting. We also practiced our retelling skills by retelling The Three Billy Goats Gruff using the key details and acting it out with our puppets.
