East Meadows Year End Programs

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Family and friends have been filtering in and out of East Meadows Elementary this month to watch the year-end programs. Pre-school children left us with farewells of “Toodles Poodles,” “Take Care Brown Bear,” and “Till Then Penguin.” Kindergarten students sang songs about their “Journey through Kindergarten.” First graders focused on “Oceans of Fun.” Third-grade students shared their “Journey through Learning.” Visitors that came to the fourth-grade program will learn a lot about Utah through songs.

East Meadows 5th graders know their states. To show off their knowledge, they hosted a state fair on May 4. Family, friends and fellow classmates came to their classrooms to see their work. Students put together workbooks which included lots of interesting facts. They also created their own state ice cream, state t-shirt, and a 3D diorama. Each diorama posed a question and viewers had to discover the answer hidden in the display. Congratulations on their hard work.

Teachers and staff had a SUNsational time for teacher appreciation week!  The PTA provided lots of food and support.  To start off the week each staff member was given a bucket with some coupons and slips of paper for the students to write nice things about them, therefore filling the staff’s bucket with compliments.  The teachers were treated to cake pops, a breakfast one morning, ice cream sundaes and a lunch.  There was a display of jars that were filled many different items that the staff could guess how many in the jar and then win if their guess was the closest.

On April 24, East Meadows 4th-grade students spent a beautiful day in Diamond Fork Canyon. They put on waders and got in the water to observe life and gather samples. They used binoculars to see more clearly the birds and nests in the trees around them. They got to walk inside a teepee and see what it would be like to camp in one. The US Forest Service guided them in their activities and instructed them on the interesting wildlife in the area.
