Mrs. Lyman's 6th Grade Class have been studying about Egypt. They just finished this Unit and then acted out hieroglypics. They enjoyed learning about Egypt! 

Santa made a special visit to East Meadows. He shared a book about the North Pole with the children. He told them about the work his elves do and all the stores at the North Pole. He also had his helper read a book he had been given by an author. What The Snowmen Do At Christmas. The children then had an opportunity to have Santa answer their questions. He was very jolly and happy to be with them. The children wrote a thank you letter to him. Mrs. Sayers ran into him when she was on vacation and renewed an old friendship. He visited her house with his sleigh and reindeer, in 1976.

Today the 5th and 6th graders at East Meadows had a special visit by the Spanish Fork High School Marching Band.

The students were able to ask questions about the band and how to prepare to be in the band when they get older. They enjoyed listening to the band preform.

East Meadows Elementary has been participating in the GAINS Program

Growin Arts In Nebo Schools

Each year a Fine Arts Specialist works with the teachers of East Meadows Elementary to help integrate the arts into the classroom curriculum. This year we have a DANCE specialist working at our school. 

Human movement develops neural networks and memory. When dancing to learn, both halves of the brain are engaged and higher-order thinking skills are supported.

The 4th grade students have been studying about the Mountain Men that use to live in our area. 

We were so lucky to have a "Mountain Man-Woman" come and visit the students today. She talked about how they traded furs for goods. The students loved learning about their ways.

Last Friday the 4th graders at East Meadows were able to attend the Utah Symphony at Maple Mountain High School.

The students were in their best dress and on their best behavior!

We have some great students at East Meadows!

Fifth Graders went on a field trip today. They walked to Centennial Park (soldiers had to walk a lot) and did Revolutionary War activities. These activities included making a hat (Yankee Doodle hat) with a feather, playing games (pick up sticks, cats cradle, and a solitaire game with beans), learning about Paul Revere's Ride, and learning some Von Steuben militia drills. The students had a great time.

Last week second grade learned about our community. We learned about the culture of Spanish Fork as well as the physical features that are unique to our city. The students had a lot of fun looking at a map of Spanish Fork and creating their own salt dough map adding physical features and important landmarks.

First graders at East Meadows enjoyed singing at their Grandparent Program. What great smiles and voices! Thanks to all the wonderful grandparents and fans who came to support them.

Our 4th grade students had a great time at Camp Floyd in Fairfield.

They learned about the Pony Express, how to make candles and bricks. They were taught what it was like to have a military drill.

There was a Pioneer school house there and the students enjoyed seeing what it was like to attend school back in the day.

It was a cold day but the students had a great time! We have awesome students and staff at East Meadows!
