East Meadows Elementary fourth-grade students took part in the Tulips Journey North program by planting Red Emperor tulip bulbs in pots around the school. Through technology and use of the internet, students will observe tulip gardens around the globe to track the arrival of spring. They will observe the effects of weather and climate and watch for tulips to bloom. Many thanks to Thanksgiving Point for providing the bulbs.

East Meadows Elementary held their fall 4H service project last week. Students packaged t-shirts, and made more than 250 Christmas cards and ornaments to send to the troops for the holidays. Older students were assigned a younger student to mentor and assist with the completion of the project. All of the students participating in the project enjoyed the opportunity to do something for someone else. A big thank-you goes out to everyone who helped to make the project a success.

East Meadows second-grade students held a pumpkin pageant. Each student decorated a pumpkin, and they were displayed proudly on tables in the hallway. Many thanks to the supportive parents that helped all of our little creative geniuses. Each pumpkin received a special recognition award, and the students were able to take their pumpkins home in time to add to their own Halloween decor. Nicely done, little Mustangs!

On Friday, October 2, the East Meadows 5th graders took the opportunity to visit Olympic Park near Park City. Olympic Park served as a venue for the 2002 Olympics. Besides providing many fun winter activities, students learned that snow is important to the economy. In fact snow is called ‘white gold,’ and without it industries would economically suffer. Although the students didn’t get to participate in snow activities on this day, they got to take a bus to the top of the world’s highest-altitude ski jump and also sit in the bobsleds.

East Meadows Elementary hosted a district training for mentors, teachers, and technicians last week. The SuccessMaker program which was developed by Pearson, will be implemented in Nebo elementary schools. The program provides additional help with math or reading. It uses interactive games to improve skills, and can adjust questions to a student's particular level. The program has the capability to record and play back reading, as well as customization for specific students and groups. "We will now be able to target and serve a group of students that wouldn't otherwise receive additional instruction and attention," said Dwight Liddiard, principal at East Meadows, "It is a welcome addition."

The East Meadows second-grade students enjoyed a day filled with activities by visiting two local attractions. Their first stop was Farm Field Days at the North County Equestrian Park. Students participated in a number of activity centers to get a glimpse of the role agriculture plays in their daily lives. They learned about good nutrition, proper hand washing, and other behaviors that can prevent disease. They made 'living necklaces' out of wheat seeds; and they also got to make their own own bread dough. Students then headed south to the Harward Pumpkin Patch in Springville where they picked out their own pumpkins to decorate.
