Meadow Brook Elementary

We wanted to quickly introduce our School Nurse, Mrs. Hansen!

You might have seen Mrs. Hansen around the office, she is here at least once a week. We have been lucky enough to have her at Meadow Brook since 2023! She has a busy job balancing 5 schools, but always takes time to get to know the kids here at Meadow Brook. Among other responsibilities, she is in charge of training staff and making sure kids are well taken care of at school. She spends her "spare" time helping out the secretaries in the office, which they are grateful for!

We love you, Mrs. Hansen!

Half Day Kindergarten has loved learning from our student teacher and celebrating the 100th day of school!

🎉 In first grade, we celebrated “120 Days Brighter!” 🌟 Our students have grown so much since the start of the year—now we’re 120 days smarter!
To mark the occasion, everyone dressed up as what they want to be when they grow up. We saw future scientists, doctors, teachers, dancers, soccer players, police officers, nurses, and even an aspiring Disney Princess! 👩‍🔬👨‍⚕️🧑‍🏫💃⚽👮‍♂️👩‍⚕️👑

Even Mrs. Leary joined in and shared how she wants to pick up painting again, which she hasn’t done since high school! 🎨

We talked about how learning every day helps us reach our dreams. Here’s to growing, dreaming, and shining brighter together!

This month our counseling team visited the 5th grade classrooms to teach effective communication! 🗣️ Students practiced verbal and nonverbal skills through fun activities like a silent birthday line-up and the telephone game. We love seeing our students put their communication skills into action! 💬👂

It was a perfect sunny day when fourth grade took their hand-made sundials outside to test them. Students were excited to see the time on their sundials match the real time!

Fifth grade has been diving into a world full of drama, magic, and just a hint of romance as we study Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream! Students have been sharpening their summarizing, writing, and performance skills along the way. What a fun way to get into the Valentine’s Day spirit! 💌

Hard work pays off! 🧸✨ Mrs. Robison’s 3rd grade class earned a special reward—pajamas and stuffed animals at school—by showing responsibility, hard work, and kindness.

Speech time is one of our favorite parts of preschool! The children engage in fun, interactive play designed to boost their language skills.
Whether it's expanding vocabulary or practicing turn-taking, our speech sessions are all about play-based learning!

This year we launched a new reading program! Every student starts with a quick placement test to pinpoint exact skills they need support with (phonics, decoding, fluency). Students then join small, skill-based groups for targeted lessons. At the end of each month, we retest, celebrate growth, and regroup so instruction stays just‑right for each learner. Every student gets what they need, when they need it—and the progress has been awesome to watch. 📚✨

Little hands, big imaginations ✨ Building, pretending, exploring, and learning together. Just another magical day in preschool! 💛

Kindergarten celebrated 100 days in school! They seem to have all aged 100 years as well! 👵🏼👴🏼💯

Our classroom has been rocking lately! 🪨🔥 We’ve been studying rocks and the rock cycle, then bringing them to life by writing descriptive paragraphs using personification. These young geologists gave rocks voices, feelings, and stories of their own!

In 5th grade, we have been focusing on becoming proficient at our essential standards, like multi-digit multiplication with the standard algorithm! As you can see, Ms. Owen’s class loves math groups!

This week our amazing team of special education teachers, school psychologist and speech-language pathologists headed to an elementary-focused training to sharpen our skills in collaboration, paperwork, and...most importantly...serving children well.

Behind the scenes, this kind of learning helps us work smarter together, strengthen supports, and ensure every student gets the care and services they deserve. We’re proud to invest our time in growing as professionals so we can better support our students, families, and school community.

Second grade is having so much fun learning about measurement! 📏✨ Did you know that one of the cool things about centimeters, meters, (and millimeters and kilometers) is they relate to each other through the number 100? The kids thought it was cool that 100 millimeters is equivilant to 1 centimeter, 100 centimeters is the same as a meter, and there are 100 meters in a kilometer. We are not measuring kilometers in second grade (I can't help but throw in extra tidbits here and there), but we are learning about tools we can use to measure inches, centimeters, yards, and meters, estimating and checking our answers, and will soon be comparing lengths! I sure love seeing their excitement as they learn new skills! 💙📐

Mrs. Albrecht's class had an amazing time at the Utah Symphony last week! 🎻
Students learned about the wind, brass, percussion, and string sections of the symphony and experienced the magic of live music! What a fun and inspiring day!

The kindergartners have loved getting to learn how to jump rope outside at recess! We’ve got some jumping queens and kings here at Meadow Brook!

Big ideas, strong teamwork, and lots of collaboration! Our kindergarten and 5th grade teams having a productive PD planning day. 👏📘
